Whether you walk your dog, head out with your family for a day hike, or have taken on the challenge to become a Thousand-Miler, the Ice Age National Scenic Trail provides a chance for quiet recreation while following the glacial history of Wisconsin. During the past year, a record number of people discovered the Ice Age Trail, and the Alliance membership has grown to over 4,500 strong. I’m excited to welcome all our new members. 2020 was an excellent year for land acquisition, thanks to the many who contributed to our land protection efforts. It was also the year where despite COVID-19 limitations, 1,499 volunteers donated 53,297 hours as dedicated caretakers of our wonderful Trail. While some of our efforts understandably shifted during the pandemic, we continued to maintain our high standards of providing a top-notch Trail experience for all. In 2021, I invite you to join one of the small-scale Trailbuilding and Stewardship Reconnect projects available through your chapter or one of the large-scale events scheduled later this summer.

  • Trail Challenge Resources
    Trail Challenge Resources Hiking Trails Ice Age National Scenic Trail ● Description​: One of only 11 National Scenic Trails in the country, the Ice Age Trail is a 1,000-mile footpath contained entirely within the state of Wisconsin. Ancient glaciers carved the path through rocky terrain, open prairies, and peaceful forests. Now, day hikers, backpackers, and outdoor lovers of all ages rely on the Ice Age Trail for a place to unplug, relax, and enjoy nature. ● Ice Age Trail Map Interstate State Park, MN ● Description:​ Interstate State Park includes 293 acres of diverse plant and wildlife habitat. Established in 1895, it protects a unique landscape and globally-significant geology along the St. Croix River. A billion years ago, dark basalt rock formed here when lava escaped from a crack in the earth’s crust. Just ten thousand years ago, water from melting glaciers carved the river valley. Within that water were fast moving whirlpools of swirling sand and water that wore deep holes into the rock. Today, we call these holes glacial potholes and you can see more than 400 examples of them at the park. ● Interstate State Park Map Interstate State Park, WI ● Description:​ ​There are more than nine miles of hiking trails in the park that offer the walker many opportunities for viewing the spectacular scenery and natural attributes of the park. Guided hikes are offered during the summer months. Pets must be on a leash 8 feet or shorter at all times. Hiking trails vary in difficulty. Not all trails are surfaced; use caution on steep bluffs and near cliffs.

  • Ice Age National Scenic Trail the Trail Signage Notebook, a Publication of the Ice Age Trail Alliance, Was Made Possible by a Generous Grant From
    Ice Age National Scenic Trail The Trail Signage Notebook, a publication of the Ice Age Trail Alliance, was made possible by a generous grant from: 2 This notebook is in search of daypacks. It is designed to provide volunteers and land managers responsible for portions of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail with a digest of trail signage standards and guidelines. It is intended to be a resource used for signage ‘Walk and Talk’ assessments and maintenance outings. The notebook outlines various trail marking and signing scenarios with text and pictures and touches on the philosophical contexts within which trail signage decisions are made. Content is based on the Ice Age National Scenic Trail: A Handbook for Trail Design, Construction and Maintenance (available on line at www.nps.gov/iatr/parkmgmt/trail_handbook.htm), extensive statewide field experience, and input from volunteers, agency staff, and hikers. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail (NST) is a congressionally-authorized component of the National Trails System. The National Park Service (NPS) isIntroduction the lead agency assigned planning and administrative duties; these duties include determining standards for Trail design, layout, construction, maintenance, AND how the Trail is signed. As a partnership project, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Bureau of Parks and Recreation signage standards augment Federal requirements. From the private sector there is a rich and varied history of signage practices to draw upon. The Ice Age Trail Alliance (IATA) is the lead partner responsible for on-the-ground implementation. Planned to be about 1200 miles long, currently, 500 miles are off road, or “traditional hiking trail”, 100 miles are multi-use paths, and 600 miles are connecting roads and sidewalks.
