Lake Wingra is a smaller lake that is in the Madison city limits. It has a beautiful Vilas park, Henry Vilas zoo, playground equipment, swimming beach, and is great for stand up paddle boarding, canoing, or paddle boating. The lake is next to the UW Arboretum and motor boats are not allowed. So peaceful... so peaceful! It's another one of our FAVORITE thigns. Check out our video below.
For boat or paddle board rental, check out Wingra Boats. The are super nice.
