Fall Colors at Cherokee ~ Join Master Naturalist John Newman for a free guided walk or take a walk on your own any day in October to enjoy the changing fall colors and migrating birds.   Learn why leaves change color and how native Wisconsin tree species are important to Wisconsin birds, insects and other wildlife. 

Cherokee Marsh is Madison’s largest conservation park with three units - North, South, and Mendota. Each month, year-round we explore the north unit's beautiful trails through the woodlands, wetlands, and restored prairies along the Yahara ‘Catfish’ River. Co-sponsored by Madison Parks, Friends of Cherokee Marsh, and Sierra Club.  Follow North Sherman Ave. to the parking lot at the end of the gravel entrance road. Free, family-friendly guided nature walks at Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park – North are held on the 1st Sunday of each month, year-round 1:30-3pm. Free, welcoming, healthy, fairly accessable, family and kid friendly, educational, no registration required, no pets.  Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
