Bird & Nature Adventures | Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park

Weather Wisdom ~ Join UW Atmospheric Science emeritus professor Steve Ackerman for a free fun family friendly stroll on easy paths at Cherokee Marsh.  Enjoy early fall in the woodlands, prairies and marsh while learning fascinating facts about weather and climate change.

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