About the Business

The UW-Madison Arboretum Spring Trail Parking Lot is located in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. Open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and 12:30 to 4 p.m. on weekends, the Arboretum offers over 17 miles of trails through restored prairies, savannas, woodlands, and wetlands. These trails provide recreational, inspirational, and educational opportunities while also facilitating the protection of landscapes, wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and ecosystem integrity.
Visitors are encouraged to download the Arboretum trail map for a detailed guide to the different paths. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are recommended as trails may be uneven, muddy, icy, or flooded depending on the weather. It is important to stay on designated paths to avoid damaging plants and wildlife habitats.
The Arboretum offers free nature walks and family programs to educate visitors about Wisconsin's native ecosystems and the science of restoration ecology. Pets, picnics, drones, and bicycles are not permitted on the trails to protect the natural environment. Mosquitos and ticks are common, so visitors are advised to bring insect repellent and appropriate clothing.
The Arboretum is accessible to all visitors, with designated parking spots and accessible paths. Skiing and snowshoeing are allowed on designated trails in the winter months, with maps posted seasonally. The Arboretum rangers provide suggested hiking routes to enjoy seasonal highlights and there are maps available for the Wisconsin Native Plant Garden and Longenecker Horticultural Gardens. Whether you are a nature enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful outdoor experience, the UW-Madison Arboretum Spring Trail Parking Lot offers a unique opportunity to explore and appreciate the beauty of Wisconsin's natural landscapes.
