Taken from an outdoor deck in Woodcreek Village. The conservancy path is below.
Sandhill cranes live and nest in the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. Photo taken on bike ride, just 4 minutes from our front door.
The conservancy is a natural area on the Northwest corner of Lake Mendota. There is a long term plan being worked out to connect our conservancy path to Governor Nelson State Park nearby.
A newly dedicated path around the perimiter of the conservancy is a great way to relax, exercise and get away from it all. Right at our door step.

The conservancy hill from the south end. Canoe and Kayak in the main channel for a quiet getaway.
Sandhill cranes in flight. The Friends of Pheasant Branch and the International Crane Foundation are considering a plan for a crane viewing platform in the future.
Shown above is the viewing platform over the conservancy springs. These springs are spectacularly beautiful up close, generating over 2.6 million gallons of fresh water every day.
Just over the conservancy hill on the north end, beautiful Dane County opens up into farms and lovely open space.
Great Blue Heron. Taken at Orchid Park which is a 10 minute walk from our front door.
The Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a wonderful asset and neighbor for our Woodcreek Village community.
Woodcreek Village is located on the East side of the beautiful Pheasant Branch Conservancy. The opportunities for recreation here are endless. Walking, biking, running, photography, birding, and much, much more.
We are adjacent to the North end of the Conservancy. This is a 550 acre natural area held in conservancy and jointly managed by the City of Middleton, the Dane County Parks Department and the Wisconsin DNR
This ties into the beautifully wooded Pheasant Branch Creek trail system that runs West, through Middleton and beyond. Plans are being discussed by regional planners to someday tie the North end of the Conservance into trails connecting to Governor Nelson State Park on Lake Mendota.
Scroll down to view some photos taken in the conservancy. You can walk, bike, run, watch birds, whatever strikes your fancy. Our Woodcreek Village community shares the Eastern border of the conservancy and we are blessed by the many opportunities it offers.
