Barrel Shot Looking Northwest The Yahara River is a tributary of the Rock River that flows from a source in the north part of Dane County. It feeds the five lakes in the chain that surround Madison. The most famous of the lakes are Menona and Mendota, that are separated by the isthmus that holds the City of Madison. Lake Monona is the site of the plane crash that killed Otis Redding on December 10, 1967. Several vehicle, bicycle/pedestrian and railway bridges cross the Yahara River between Monona and Mendota.

How did this get in there? Imagine that - a railroad bridge in Madison that hasn't been made into a bike trail - yet. This line was built by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway (now UPRR) to connect Madison to Elroy. It also crosses the Viaduct Road Arch Bridge. The line added a second track in the late 19th Century (you can see where it was on the right side of the bridge) but the second track was removed years ago. Photo taken by J.R.
