Join us for a special fall migration birding adventure at Cherokee Marsh – North Unit, the largest wetland in Dane County! Strategically located at the head of Madison’s lakes, this 946-acre gem of wetlands, woodlands, and prairies is a haven for wildlife. With 2.6 miles of trails, a boardwalk, and two observation decks, it offers excellent opportunities to experience the magic of migration.
Since our events are public spaces, it is possible that you may appear in photos. Please also notify someone on our team if you prefer not to have your photo taken at an event.
