To find the RSS feed for a site you are looking for add either /rss or /feed to the end of the domain root you want to use.

If I want to use the RSS feed of the Wisconsin DNR’s Event Calendar I would point my browser to dnr.wi.gov/rss/

This points me to a page that has a link to the DNR Event Calendar.

It looks something like this https://dnr.wi.gov/rss/parkEvents.xml
