If you’re looking to venture outside Madison, there are plenty of opportunities for scenic drives, outdoor adventures, and charming small-town exploration. Hike at Devil’s Lake State Park, Parfrey’s Glen, Governor Dodge State Park, or Blue Mound State Park. Visit the Wisconsin Dells, known as the Waterpark Capital of the World, or spend the day exploring the unique communities of New Glarus, Paoli, Baraboo, and Mineral Point, each offering its own blend of shopping, dining, history, and local character.
