    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.

    Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706

    Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706 To: the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Re: implementation of Act 168, The Sporting Heritage Act For the sake of public safety, we recommend that the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board close to hunting and trapping those non-designated use areas in State Parks that are regularly used for rock climbing, ice climbing, and bouldering. Our specific recommendations are detailed below. Climbing in State Parks Rock climbing is a traditional outdoor recreation with nearly a century-long history in Wisconsin, and is recognized as such in NR 1.33. Rock climbing, like hunting, is allowed solely in non-designated use areas. Some DNR personnel are aware that climbing goes on at some State Parks, but none have a thorough understanding of when and where rock climbing occurs. NR 1.33 stipulates that rock climbing be considered in planning, but for decades this has been at best inconsistent. The previous hunting maps and the currently proposed hunting and trapping maps for State Parks demonstrate this lack of knowledge and lack of consideration. Our recommendations are intended to fill that gap. Hunting and Climbing What hunters gain from Act 168 are simplified regulations. No more special permits for State Parks. If hunting is in season anywhere, it is in season in State Parks, and with any weapon for any game. Trapping will essentially be another form of hunting. Both the NRB and the DNR have stated that implementation of Act 168 should give hunters the maximum opportunity to hunt, without displacing other park users.
