Bird & Nature Adventures | Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park

Marsh Canoe Tour ~ Take a free family friendly paddle with Naturalists Lynn Persson, Linda Malkin and Sheila Leary to find out what's happening in the marsh as Spring turns to Summer!  Some canoes provided first come first served, bring your own canoe or kayak if you have one. The marsh, wetlands and Yahara River are alive with new growth, fish, dragonflies, turtles, and birds. 

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 accessible, family and kid friendly, educational, no registration required, no pets.  Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
