The best thing about Governor Nelson State Park is its proximity to Madison. It’s a short drive from the city to be in this quiet nature preserve. There is no camping at Governor Nelson, but there are hiking and cross-​country skiing trails that are well-​kept. There is also a beach, though I’m not brave enough to swim in Lake Mendota at this point. Lots of picnic areas and on a clear day you have beautiful views of the Capitol and the Madison skyline.

Great hiking trails, close to Madison, but forget swimming. Don’t let the beautiful beach fool you… Maybe it was this time of year, but the water stunk, and about 1 foot into the water, the bottom turns to slime. I’m still trying to wash the smell off of me.

Here is my favorite thing about the park (besides its proximity to Madison and skyline views)…there is a dog exercise area with a pier on the lake. We took our dog there and threw her retrieving toy out for an hour and she had the best time of her life!
The burial mounds along the trails are really neat to see also! We went around sunset during the summer and it was really cool :)

The park is a tad small, but don’t let the size fool you. Legit, one of the most relaxing places to be near Madison. Never too big of a crowd here! People usually aren’t rowdy. I love to take my inflatable chair and float on the lake :) Employees are always pleasant as well! $ 25 for a season pass (includes all state parks, how cool!)

A small park but it’s just a short drive from home in Madison. It’s a great place to escape the city bubble and get a taste of the woods (or prairie). There’s a lake and beach that are quiet and peaceful as well. Absolutely beautiful in the fall, of course.
Gov. Nelson has trails for cross country skiers and dog walkers too. Great place to get your winter exercise.

Not sure why the category is skate park… it’s a *state* park.
We walked around on a gorgeous mid October day. The beach was completely empty, there were a couple families at the play park and we ran into other walkers on the trails — but overall not busy. We did the Woodland Trail, which is about a mile trail over a mildly hilly trail. Along the way were Native American mounds, though I would’ve missed it unless there were markers. It’s a nice combination of beach, woodlands and grassland, all within a short amount of time.
Also, I don’t fish, but I still played around with the fish cleaning area:)
