Ice Age Trail Hiking Guide

Official app of the Ice Age Trail Alliance. The Ice Age Trail is a historic adventure of almost 1200 miles (1930 km) that traces the edge of the huge glacier that once covered North America. The landscape that its retreating mass carved in the state of Wisconsin is a spectacular example of the mark that natural forces, such as continental glaciation, can leave on our planet. The Ice Age Trail is one of the country's National Scenic Trails, and is a trek across the state of Wisconsin that travels through rolling green hills, river valleys, and wide lakes; all reminders of a planetary era long past. Its path stretches from the Interstate State Park along the St. Croix River to Potawatomi State Park near Sturgeon Bay. Traveling through some of the state's most beautiful natural areas, the trail is perfect for day-hiking, thru-hiking, snowshoeing, and backpacking adventures.
