Bird & Nature Adventures | Tenney Park
Event Description
Tenney Park History ~ Join Madison Historian Don Sanford for a free welcoming family-friendly guided walk on beautiful bike and walk paths along the Yahara Riverway that connects Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. Learn about the fascinating history of Lake Mendota, the Yahara Riverway, and Tenney Park from the Ice Age and Native Americans to early settlers and the present day. Along the way we will also enjoy the birds and quiet natural areas in the middle of the busy Isthmus. What did you learn about the history? What did you see that has changed over time?
Nature-expert guided walks in Tenney Park along Lake Mendota and the Yahara River Parkway bike path through the Madison Isthmus are free, family-friendly and held the first Saturday of each month, from 2:30-4pm. The walk begins at the Tenney Beach parking lot, 1330 Sherman Avenue. No registration is required. No pets are allowed. Co-sponsored by Madison FUN Friends of Urban Nature, Madison Parks, Badgerland Bird Alliance Madison Audubon Society, Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association and Friends of the Yahara River Parkway
