Why go there?
The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a 1,200-mile footpath winding through Wisconsin, showcasing the state's glacial landscapes and geological history. Established in 1980, it traverses moraines, kettles, and other glacial features, offering hikers diverse ecosystems, picturesque landscapes, and opportunities for wildlife viewing. The trail connects various state parks and forests, providing outdoor enthusiasts with a unique and immersive experience in the remnants of the last Ice Age. Maintained by volunteers, it became a National Park Service unit in December 2023.
