点评:This is an absolute gem in the middle of campus. I was a graduate student back in 2005 and absolutely loved riding my bike along the Lakeshore path and up to picnic point as a way to get away from the busy city and reconnect a little with nature. It is beautiful in all seasons and is part of what makes Madison great - the combination of urban culture with Midwest nature.
We still live in Madison and I recently rode my bike into town and decide to ride the Lakeshore Path for old time's sake. The area leading up to Picnic Point has been massively redone! Bikes are no longer allowed, but there are several nice manicured trails through the woods, stone firepits and a very nice viewing area at the tip of the point. The foliage and colors were outstanding and also comes with a view of the lake on both sides as you get along the narrows! It is definitely worth a trip here.

我们现在仍然住在麦迪逊,最近我骑车进城,顺便重温了一下当年的美好时光,决定沿着湖滨小径再骑一圈。通往野餐点的路段已经彻底翻新了!虽然现在禁止自行车通行,但林间小径维护得很好,还有石砌的篝火坑,以及在岬角尽头的绝佳观景台。沿途的树叶色彩斑斓,美不胜收,沿着狭窄的小径骑行,还能欣赏到两侧湖泊的景色!绝对值得一游。
