The University of Wisconsin Madison Arboretum is an expansive park spanning the southern edge of Lake Wingra. There are miles of walking and bike paths spanning the park, passing by a myriad of natural biomes. Stop by the visitor’s center and stroll through a winding garden path through native prairie grasses & wildflowers dotted with native trees. Explore the arboretum’s nature-based play area and wander along the boardwalks. Before you go, be sure to take in Curtis Prairie, one of our nation’s first prairie restoration sites!
