  If you are travelling by car, start from Madison, WI. Head west on US-12 W/US-18 W for approximately 20 miles. Take the exit toward WI-78 N and merge onto WI-78 N. Continue on WI-78 N for about 35 miles until you reach Blue Mounds. In Blue Mounds, turn right onto Park Rd, and follow this road for about 1 mile. The Brigham Park marker will be on your left. Note that parking is available nearby.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer public transportation, take a bus from Madison to Mount Horeb via the Madison Metro Transit (check their schedule for times). From Mount Horeb, you can use a taxi service or a rideshare app (like Uber or Lyft) to reach Brigham Park, which is approximately 10 miles away. This will generally cost around $15-$25 depending on the time of day and traffic.

• Bicycle

  For the more adventurous, consider cycling from Madison. You can take the Military Ridge State Trail, which connects Madison to Mount Horeb and continues toward Blue Mounds. This is a scenic route of about 25 miles. Once you reach Blue Mounds, you can navigate to Park Rd. Ensure you wear a helmet and have a map or GPS for navigation.
