Friends of the UW Lakeshore Nature Preserve

Join Daniel Einstein, campus historic and cultural resources manager, as we re-trace a segment of the road network created by the Madison Park and Pleasure Drive Association (MPPDA).  Bring your bicycles as we ride from Willow Creek Bridge to the Shorewood Hills Beach (approx. 2.5 miles).  Along the way we will make brief stops at the Tent Colony, Raymer’s Cove, the Daisy Field, Eagle Heights Mounds and end at the “rustic bridge” in Shorewood Hills as we learn about the MPPDA--the forerunner of the Madison parks division.  Meet at the Willow Creek bridge. Please wear a helmet! Leader: Daniel Einstein, 265-3417, daniel.einstein@wisc.edu
