National Scenic Trails - Ice Age Trail Overview
At the end of the Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago, glaciers retreated from North America and left behind a chain of hills that defined their southern edge. In Wisconsin, this band of hills zigzags across the state for nearly 1,200 miles, from Lake Michigan to the Saint Croix River. A trail along these hills was conceived by Ray Zillmer in the 1950s and publicized by Rep. Henry Reuss in his book, On the Trail of the Ice Age. Today, with help from the state of Wisconsin and the Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation, almost half of the trail is open to public use. Certain sections are popular for marathons, ski races, and ultra-running.
