The Ice Age Trail, one of only eleven National Scenic Trails in the United States, is a thousand-mile footpath highlighting Wisconsin's world-renowned Ice Age heritage and scenic beauty.

Ice Age Trail Landscape and Geology

The Ice Age Trail route will take you through some of Wisconsin's most scenic terrain, highlighting mature forests, expansive prairies and thousands of lakes and rivers. The story of how our modern landscape was sculpted is fascinating. After reading the information below, take time to reflect the next time you are using the Ice Age Trail on the centuries of natural processes that have crafted the places that we enjoy today.

Connect with Wisconsin's "Gift of the Glaciers"

More than 12,000 years ago, an immense flow of glacial ice sculpted a landscape of remarkable beauty across Wisconsin. As the colossal glacier retreated, it left behind a variety of unique landscape features. These Ice Age remnants are now considered among the world's finest examples of how continental glaciation sculpts our planet.

The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a thousand-mile footpath - entirely within Wisconsin - that highlights these Ice Age landscape features while providing access to some of the state's most beautiful natural areas.

The Ice Age Trail Alliance is a volunteer- and member-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to create, support and protect a thousand-mile footpath tracing Ice Age formations across Wisconsin - the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Ice Age Trail Alliance staff and volunteers work cooperatively with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, National Park Service, local governments, businesses and private landowners to shape the Ice Age Trail into one of the premier hiking trails in the United States. Your support as a new member, volunteer or sponsor is always very welcome.
