Hiking

Whitewater is beautiful any season of the year. Whether you are hiking the Kettle Moraine in summer or cross-country skiing in the winter, Whitewater has many trails for you to choose from. Close to home the Whitewater Country Club will provide many hours of cross-country skiing and refreshing exercise. If you venture 5-10 minutes east of town you can join the Ice Age Trail along Hwy 12 and view the Wisconsin terrain once carved by glaciers. Explore 22 miles of vistas, lowland prairies and hardwood forests on the Nordic Trails perfect for a day hike or a weekend get-a-way. Maps are available from the Whitewater Tourism Council 1-866-4WW-TOUR.
