Ice Age Trail Alliance
Walworth / Jefferson County Chapter Hiker Resource
Hike along side history on the Ice Age Trail leading to some deeply historical sites of Whitewater’s past. Pack your bag with everything you’ll need, strap on your comfiest shoes, and prepare for a day of peace and quiet with nature. Whether hiking alone or with a crew, you’ll enjoy some scenic views with the opportunity to simply get away from it all.
The Ice Age Trail is marked with yellow rectangular blazes. Dogs must be under control and leashed at all times. Leave no trace.
Explore over 25 miles of maintained trails
through the Kettle Moraine State Forest / Southern Unit and Clover Valley Habitat Area.
