Birding by Bike (CANCELLED)

  • Nine Springs to Nevin Springs Madison, WI United States (map)

We’re sorry this field trip is cancelled. We’ll host another Birding by Bike outing in October — stay tuned for info!

Join us for an adventurous, unique way to enjoy hearing and seeing our feathered friends: Birding by bike! This outing will follow the Capital City Trail from Nine Springs/Lake Farm County Park area (trailhead parking lot) west to Nevin Springs, and back. Total distance biked is approximately 8.25 miles.

This field trip will involve slow to moderate-paced biking with stops at multiple points along the way to enjoy the birds we see and hear in these great natural areas.

A State Trail Pass is required to bike on this location—daily passes are $5 and available for self-registration at the site (cash or check only).
