Embark on a tranquil journey through nature with our Beginner Kayak Excursion down the picturesque creek in Pheasant Branch from 5 – 8 p.m., Tuesday, July 22. Perfect for those new to kayaking, this adventure promises a day of gentle exploration and breathtaking scenery.

This quick 20-minute paddle from Marshall Boats to the mouth of the conservancy is a favorite of ours. The Conservancy, just up the western shore of Lake Mendota, is a shining example of conservation efforts by three different government entities; the Wisconsin DNR, the County of Dane, and the City of Middleton work together to manage this beautiful green space.

Paddle into the Conservancy a bit, you’ll find the Marshall Crew waiting to show you channels and a small body of water to explore. Note the upland oak savanna and lowland wet prairies. You’ll want to linger and enjoy every moment. Education and fun are sprinkled throughout the Pheasant Branch Excursion.

This is event is sponsored by Marshall Boats and all proceeds benefit The Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy.
