Mile-long peninsula along Lake Mendota's south shore - nature in the middle of the UW campus - open sunrise to sunset daily.

Great hike with fabulous views! Bikes aren't allowed on the path. We also like to hike the less traveled Frautchi Point which is connected.

While you're at the Memorial Union Terrace take a hike to picnic point. 5 miles round trip from the Terrace. Enjoy a well deserved beer at the end!

Nice place to walk or run. You can go from our front door and be back in about an hour or take a picnic and enjoy the views.

We love this .9 mile hike out to the end of the peninsula because it is a beautiful hike and it is a nice place to have a picnic or a campfire.
