The Capital City State Trail is a 17-mile (27 km) paved recreation trail in and around Madison, Wisconsin, with connections to the Military Ridge State Trail and the Badger State Trail. A 9-mile (14 km) segment of the trail goes through the Capital Springs State Recreation Area and a state trail pass is required to bicycle, skate or roller-ski this segment.[1][2][3] The trail will eventually connect to the Glacial Drumlin State Trail.[4]
