Thank you for using the Dane County Parks online reservation system! We hope this will make your reservation process easier and more convenient by being available when you need it, not just during business hours.
First established in 1936, the Dane County Parks Division has grown to over 8,000 acres of parkland. The park system offers many opportunities for year-round outdoor recreation, including camping, disc golf, bike trails, equestrian trails, dog parks, hiking, boating, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling.
FIREWOOD ALERT: Dane County Parks no longer allows firewood that originates more than 50 miles away or out-of-state to be brought into the Parks (Ordinance Amendment 32, amending Chapter 53 of the Dane County Code of Ordinances). Park staff will have firewood available for purchase.
Contact our office Monday-Friday, 7:45 am to 4:30 pm (CT) at 608-224-3730, or email us if you have any further questions or suggestions on how we may improve the Dane County Parks online reservation system. Reservations for the following year are available starting on the first Monday in November at 7:45 am.
