There are four “extant” (still visible) mound groups you can visit on the main campus, all but one of them located within the boundaries of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve. Recently these mound groups were surveyed and entered in a special burial sites catalog maintained by the Wisconsin Historical Society. The label associated with each location includes a number used in the state Archaeological Site Inventory (ASI) maintained by the Wisconsin Historical Society. The site surveys establish a 25-foot preservation buffer around the mounds.

Picnic Point Mound Group (DA121) The sixth extant mound is a large hemispherical form visible on your right just before you reach The Narrows (where the main trail dips near the beach).

The Capital City State Trail is a 17-mile paved multi-use path open year-round. A state trail pass is required to bike the nine-mile portion of the trail that passes through the Capital Springs E-way south of Madison between Verona Road and Nob Hill near Industrial Drive, but the remainder is free to access.

The University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum is a research and ecological protection site in Madison. It has several miles of trails and quiet roads that weave through the beautiful wood land. The centerpiece of the area is Lake Wingra.

Nice view of Lake Wingra as you are running along Arboretum Drive. There are other great views as you pass through University of Wisconsin Arboretum.

very beautiful at the lake shore near Monona Terrace

Around 2,000 years ago, local inhabitants initiated the burial of their dead in the sacred mounds that scatter across the Point. At one time, Picnic Point boasted seven mounds, but relic hunters destroyed one mound before 1912. Today, the Preserve harbors numerous burial mounds and other ancient archaeological sites, reflecting the rich history and cultural significance of the area.

Dunn's Marsh is a sizable body of water in the middle of Dawley Conservancy Park. It's right off the side of the Cannonball Path on one side and the Capital City State Trail on the other side.
