Ice Age National Scenic Trail

The Ice Age National Scenic Trail follows the edge of the last glacier that was in Wisconsin 10,000 years ago. The glacier left behind distinctive geological features, such as lakes, hills, rivers, and ridges. The trail is about 1,200 miles long. Over half has been completed, and new sections are being added often. The trail winds through forests, farms, canyons, boulders, state parks, and towns. It is used by millions of hikers, backpackers, and snowshoe enthusiasts every year.
