The Ice Age Trail

The huge glaciers of the the last ice age 10,000 years ago left quite an imprint on Wisconsin - and you can see it today by following the Ice Age trail.

The Ice Age trail is the terminus, or bottom edge, of the last glacier in Wisconsin. This trail is nearly 1200 miles long in total, although only about 600 miles are actually marked. Because it crosses the entire state, a section of the Ice Age trail probably isn't too far from where you live.

A great family adventure, and a great way to enjoy nature and learn a little about Wisconsin. For more details about the trail, maps, store, and events or to learn how you can volunteer to keep up the trail visit The Ice Age Trail Alliance
