Real Gem located in the heart of Madison! Free to public. Miles of hiking and biking trails to explore. Beautiful plants and trees can be found here. Very helpful and friendly staff inside the visitor center that can help guide you if needed. Extremely clean bathrooms in case you need to make a pit stop.
