A great treasure of Middleton! Miles of trails for walking, running, or biking with changing view nearly every day — if you keep your eyes open. Some of the best views around.

Some parts are really great: appropriately nature-y, secluded, river crossings, etc. But in many other parts you are literally walking along side the highway or traipsing through suburban backyards. If you go in the heat of summer note that there are long stretches without any shade. And none of the maps posted along the way have an ideo locator(did you know that’s what the«you are here» arrow is called?), except for the one just off M where some good samaritan taped on a Post-it note to designate the spot.

It seems like only a fool would rate this fewer than 5 stars. Why would you go to a place like this unless you enjoyed nature and outdoor activity? The trails are open to hikers, runners & bikers, and the atmosphere is sublime. I’ll go again and again to take advantage of pristine nature and well-groomed and well-maintained trails. Dogs on leash

Awesome trails. Love all of the river crossings. Many of them have giant stepping stones to get you across the water. While you can start at a variety of areas, I love parking near the Middleton Hills neighborhood so I can get in a run and then have brunch with my friends at Prairie Café afterwards. Scenic prairie, woods, rivers, and a couple of spots you’ll be in more of the commercial side of town, but I’m good with mixing up the scenery. Still plenty I have to explore yet, maybe when it warms up a couple of degrees!

With approximately 3.5 miles of trails to walk, run, and/or bike, the Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a gem in the Madison area. The main loop passes through woods and prairie, past some neighborhoods, and is a mixture of wood planks, gravel, and dirt. Gravel/dirt offshoots go into the marshy areas, up some hills, and generally add to the outdoor enjoyment one can get from spending time in the Conservancy. With an abundance of wildlife, the Conservancy is also a prime bird watching destination( ). There’s even a playground, some soccer pitches, tennis courts, and a shelter with water fountains and soda machines one one side of the Conservancy.
