I am looking for places to take pictures of the Fall foliage near Waukesha, WI. I am limited in the amount of walking I can do, so the trees will have to be near somewhere I can park. Thanks,

Punch in this website along with the area/city etc and you will get some interestin results that might cater to your needs. I'd keep an eye open for still ponds in the maps which will provide an interesting reflection.

Foliage is tough in Wisconsin. Like Illinois, most of the leaves just turn yellow, unless the trees are not native. I have traveled from Chicago to the Mississippi near Galena and north, as well as to the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive. I was disappointed. You might want to look for an Arboretum, Like Morton's Arboretum about 30 miles west of Chicago. The trees there are beautiful in the fall.

Three locations you may want to try.
Greenfield Park in West Allis. Maples turn Bright Red very early in the fall season. Photograph from your car.
Whitnall Park and Boerner Botanical Gardens in New Berlin Area
Lapham Peak State Park - highest point in Waukesha County and has a free observation tower.
Enjoy the season.

Follow the Fox River and don't forget Fame Park. As mentioned, the Kettle Morain areas are great and timing is all important.

I'm 67 years old with a back problem so walking is tough on me. the Morton Arboratum is great as you can drive thru and park almost anywhere. Chicago Botanical Gardens is also nice but it's a walk in from the parking lot. many benches to ease the pain.
