Madison Information Station & Trailside Museum
In this stone-and-timber National Historic Landmark, park rangers share the space with a store that sells books, maps, and learning aids. You might find spotting scopes set up for wildlife viewing out the rear window; if this is the case, look for eagles, swans, bison, and elk. Rangers will answer questions about the park, provide basic hiking information, and issue permits for backcountry camping and fishing. Rangers also staff the Junior Ranger Station for kids here. Picnic tables, toilets, and an amphitheater for summer-evening ranger programs are shared with the nearby campground.
