Welcome to the Friends of Lapham Peak

The Friends of Lapham Peak was founded in 1989 as a nonprofit group dedicated to supporting and promoting the Kettle Moraine State Forest - Lapham Peak Unit in a variety of ways.   Some of the activities include sponsoring or promoting special events, fundraising for special projects, organizing volunteer work days and offering additional services to park visitors.  Click here for a map of the park.  The park is located 3/4 mile south of I-94 on County Hwy C (Delafield exit).

The main attraction of the park is the 45 foot observation tower atop the highest point in Waukesha County.  The park's glaciated topography provides excellent hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing on the lighted trails. To find out more information on hiking and skiing click on Trail/Hike/ Run Bike and Skiing.

Park hours are 7:00 am - 10:00 pm during the ski season.  

Trails will be open New Year's Eve and New Year's Day until 10:00 pm

Non-ski season park hour times are 7:00 am - 9:00 pm.
