The Yahara River links the four lakes that the City of Madison was built around. The Yahara River rises in northern Dane County and flows past DeForest and Windsor into Lake Mendota in Madison, then southeastwardly through Lake Monona, Lake Waubesa and Lake Kegonsa and through the communities of Monona, McFarland and Stoughton. It joins the Rock River in northern Rock County about 9 miles north of Janesville.
