Hike The Devil's Staircase (segment of the Ice Age Trail)
This segment of the Ice Age Trail features stairs, river views, pretty rocks, a nice park, and a golf course.
We started at the north end (not the park end) and enjoyed it. If you have kids, I would recommend starting at the park end. It is an out-and-back type hike.
From the south end of the parking lot (away from the map display and towards the golf course) you’ll see the trail. The trai...

Bike the Lower Yahara River Trail at McDaniel Park
This lakeside park has a newer bike/walking path. The park itself is an excellent spot for a picnic or catching a sunset! There is a nice play area and a rocky beach.
The path is known as the Lower Yahara River Trail and opened in 2017. It provides a non-road connection between Madison and McFarland via Madison’s Capital City Trail and McFarland’s McDaniel Park. There is a map at the park wi...

Always be sure to check the blue-green algae levels before swimming in a Madison lake. That can be done here. Thankfully Madison invested in a system to help with this problem at Bernie’s Beach: “the system uses an impe...

It is filled with effigy mounds, thousands of plant and animal species, and unlimited places to explore. You can run, hike, bike, and even drive through the Arboretum. There is a visitor center and you can host an event here.

There are two entrances:
The east entrance is located at: Wingra Drive and Haywo...
Kayak Lake Monona
I like to put in at the Camp Randall Rowing Club Brittingham Boat House located at 617 N Shore Dr, Madison, WI 53703. There’s a dock and free 3 hour parking. Once in the water just paddle straight towards John Nolen Drive and go under the bridge and you’ll be in Lake Monona. Keep going and soak in the lovely city skyline of Madison with the Monona Terrace and the Capitol building.
If you don...
