Government Pier is a fishing pier on Milwaukee's Lake Michigan lakefront in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Structures like this let shore anglers reach deeper big-lake water without a boat, which is the whole appeal. No facilities or species details are recorded for the pier itself, so check current Wisconsin DNR rules for Lake Michigan and dress for exposed conditions, as weather off the lake turns quickly.
