Dane County Parks
Dane County Park Within The Town of Middleton:
Black Earth Wildlife Area - Sunnyside Unit (292 acres)
Dane County acquired the 292-acre former Sunnyside Seed Farm property in the Town of Middleton in 2004 and 2005. The property is now known as the Black Earth Creek Wildlife Area-Sunnyside Unit. Dane County adopted a Master Plan for the wildlife area in February 2011 that designated it as a "wildlife area," open to all types of public hunting and trapping, as well as fishing, hiking, and cross-country skiing. The Master Plan notes that special hunting provisions and a "no-shooting buffer" will be posted on parking lot kiosks.
~ A small gravel parking lot/access point has been installed on the north side of U.S. Highway 14 in the southeastern part of the park.
~ The Master Plan is currently being implemented by Dane County and the Dane County Parks Department.
