William G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park is a 428-acre park located in Dane County, Wisconsin. Originally a working dairy farm acquired by the county in the 1970s, it has been developed into a recreational area focused on preserving its agricultural heritage alongside natural landscapes. The park features walking trails traversing woodlands and prairies, a restored 1880s farmhouse museum offering insights into rural life, and open spaces suitable for events. Lake Waubesa borders the park providing opportunities for fishing and boating (permits may be required). The park aims to balance passive recreation with educational programming related to farming and local history. It is a popular destination for residents of Madison and surrounding communities.
