Isthmus Loop

• Isthmus Loop: Madison centers on the Isthmus, and this run takes you through the heart of it, from State Street to Tenney Park. The 6.25 mile loop roughly follows the shore of Lake Mendota north to Burrows Park, after which it turns south to meet the Yahara River. The return leg follows a bike trail under Monona Terrace and returns to State St. Alternately, you can run down Williamson (Willy) St., one of Madison's famous thoroughfares. If you are driving to reach the loop, you can park at Burrows Park.
