Capital Springs State Recreational Area is south of Madison Wisconsin, and as a newer park, is not completely developed. The park offers camping and lake access to Lake Waubesa.
The Capital City State Trail goes through the park on its way between Madison and the Military Ridge Trail and offers a 9-mile paved path to use for biking, roller blading, and walking.
The Capital City State Trail in Madison is both a commuter path and a recreational biking path. The trail cuts through the south side of Madison, from just south of Lake Monona west towards Verona and the Military Ridge Trail through the Capital Springs State Recreational Area. If you are using the trail through the state recreational area, you will need to purchase a state trail pass.
