Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park - South

"One of my favorite places to unwind and escape city life. With it being just outside of Madison, tucked in the quiet neighborhood on the Northside, it's a perfect retreat from the chaos that is humanity. Nice manicured paths that wind up a down through hills, prairies, marshes, ponds and tranquil forests. You run into all sorts of wildlife, so don't be surprised if you run into a family of geese or deer grazing in the woods or the occasional muskrat playfully running through the reeds."

"One of my favorite hikes. Peaceful and tons of birds. Usually not very busy. I always see a lot of different bird species and deer when I come. Turkeys too:)"

"Wonderful views from trails! Entrances to trails can be a little hard to find from parking lots, but definitely worth that little bit of wandering about. Favorite one starts to the left of the boat launch. Really well maintained - big thank you to the great parks workers! A very pleasant place in spring, summer, or fall."
