The Howard M. Temin Lakeshore Path, A history of Human Intervention
The Howard M. Temin Path, also known as the lakeshore path, is a 1.6-mile path that extends from the limnology building near Memorial Union, to Picnic Point and is used frequently by students, faculty, and other residents of Madison. At the dedication ceremony, James Crow, a UW-Madison professor, said, “Howard loved to walk and bicycle along this path, and it is most fitting that it be dedicated to his memory”.
