Wingra Creek is a picturesque waterway connecting Lake Wingra to Lake Monona through a lovely green corridor. Historically, it was modified for drainage and boat access, but today, it is a quiet route for paddlers and cyclists as it winds along parks and natural springs. The creek is home to diverse wildlife, including turtles, ducks, and fish, making it a great place to escape the city and enjoy spending time outdoors.
