Madison, often considered Wisconsin’s premier city, embodies the lush lakefronts, forests, and grasslands that make Wisconsin famous. Urban Trails: Madison dives into the area’s numerous natural areas, many of them accessible by public transit, with explorations ranging from lakeshore walks to trails winding through prairie and wetlands preserves, plus multiple segments of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Readers will discover easy opportunities for solitude and a nature fix right in their own backyard with this handy guide that reveals many under-appreciated gems.
Local author Andrea Debbink highlights the best and most accessible trails in the city for walking, hiking, or running, offering additional suggestions for biking, wintertime walks, or snowshoeing. Portable, colorful, and authentic, this guidebook will inspire residents and visitors alike to explore Madison’s beautiful trails.
