A sinuous dam within the Milwaukee River in Glendale’s Kletzsch Park forms a gentle waterfall. Fly-fishers often wade downstream from it. A bluff with ancient oak trees draws many visitors to three benches and a picnic table. Even on a brisk day last week, a steady parade of pedestrians walked the trail between the river’s west bank and the Milwaukee River Parkway.
This riverfront overlook might soon be erased and replaced.
