Madison does not cease to charm one with its endless outdoors that beckon tranquility. The Lake Mendota is one such place. Calm, peaceful, and serene this lake can be visited all through the day. However, it is in the evenings when you can witness some magical sunsets. To make the most of the surreal environment there are activities like kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding too. You can even try your hand at fishing here, most likely to get a catch or two. The fact that it is the largest of the four lakes in Madison, Wisconsin has several visitors coming here.
