Ice Age National Scenic TrailDescriptionDuring the Ice Age, much of North America was covered by a huge glacier. Some of the best evidence of this glacier is found in Wisconsin such as the state’s many lakes, river valleys, gently rolling hills, and ridges. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail traces the glacier's edge. It stretches nearly 1,200 miles across Wisconsin and passes some fascinating geological formations. Come, explore, and enjoy! The Ice Age National Scenic Trail connects nine units. At Kettle Moraine in southeastern Wisconsin, visitors can see kames, eskers and massive moraines that have given geologists evidence of the direction in which the massive glacier moved. Kettle Moraine Ice Age Unit also offers swimming, camping, boating, and hiking. Other Ice Age units include Devil's Lake, Mill Bluff, Chippewa Moraine, and Interstate. All, except for Chippewa Moraine, offer camping.
