About the route
The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a 1,200-mile route entirely within Wisconsin that traces the terminal moraine of the last glaciation, roughly 10,000 years ago. It showcases glacial landforms such as kettles, eskers, kames, and drumlins across 30 counties, and in 2023 became an official unit of the National Park System.
