    Tips

    Situated at the headwaters of Madison's lakes, Cherokee Marsh serves as a natural sponge, filtering upland runoff and utilizing excess fertilizer to nourish marsh plants, gradually releasing cleaner water to downstream lakes. As Dane County's largest wetland, it attracts thousands of students annually for environmental education. The North Unit features 2.6 miles of trails, a boardwalk, and two observation decks.
