Picnic Point at Lakeshore Preserve
Picnic Point is a nearly mile-long peninsula along Lake Mendota's south shore in Madison, Wisconsin, serving as one of the most popular destinations in the Lakeshore Preserve with thousands of annual visitors. The site has been an attractive destination for at least 12,000 years, with evidence of ancient habitations, European-American farms established in the early 19th century, and notable history including the Young family's 15-room mansion that burned in 1935 before the property was sold to the university in 1941.
