About the Location

Natural Setting

Northeast Park is a public park located in Madison, Wisconsin. The park covers a vast area that was once farmland, with much of it remaining undeveloped. This green space offers visitors a chance to experience a slice of nature within the urban environment of Madison.

The park's undeveloped areas likely contribute to its natural appeal, potentially providing habitats for local wildlife and plant species.

Trails and Accessibility

The park features a paved path that stretches for 636 feet, suitable for various activities such as walking, jogging, and cycling. This multi-use trail is accessible in both directions and is rated as easy in terms of physical difficulty, making it appropriate for users of all fitness levels.

The path has a slight incline, with an altitude change of 6 feet from its starting point at 991 feet to its end at 997 feet above sea level.

Visitor Experience

Northeast Park provides a quiet retreat for local residents and visitors alike. While it may not be as popular or developed as some other parks in Madison, it offers a peaceful environment for those seeking a break from the bustle of city life.

Visitors to Northeast Park should note that there are no bathroom facilities, shelters, or potable water sources within the park. This lack of amenities suggests that the park is best suited for shorter visits or for those prepared to bring their own supplies.
