The Ice Age Trail is a National Scenic Trail tracing the terminal glacial moraine of the last Ice Age in Wisconsin. Backpackers may one day hike through this route of 1200 linear miles without stepping off the trail. Today, roughly half of the route's miles are footpath that are certified as national trail.
Ray Zillmer first proposed the idea of the Ice Age Trail and began to plot its course in 1958. By 1980 his original endeavor drew the attention of congress who in turn designated the IAT as one of eleven National Scenic Trails.
The route of the trail is blazed with segments that are close to the entire population of Wisconsin. Many segments run through trail towns where hikers can get off the trail to experience communities, museums, and take advantage of key services like laundromats and grocery stores. Being a back yard trail - most hikers experience the IAT in short section hikes close to home. In 2014, an estimated 1.2 million people hiked the IAT.

Wisconsin-Explorer.bogspot.com is a blog and not an official entity connected to the Ice Age Trail Alliance. The post you are reading is my checklist of IAT segments as I attempt to section hike the complete route of the IAT. Each year the route is expanded and altered. The map below and information on the IAT segments is up to date as of 2015. Please see the IATA website for the most current information on the trail.
In the segments section below you'll see just how many segments the IAT is composed of. Any segment including a photo also includes a link to an article about the segment with photos and more detailed mapping including the location of parking, campgrounds, and water sources.
