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.

Ice Age Trail FAQs
Where is the Ice Age Trail? Where doe the Ice Age Trail begin and end?
The Ice Age Trail is a designated national trail. The trail is only within the
borders of Wisconsin. The western trailhead is at Interstate State Park in St.
Croix Falls WI and the East trailhead is at Potawatomi State Park in Sturgeon
Bay WI. The trail meanders along the terminal moraine of the last Ice Age. It
courses through every region of Wisconsin including the northern forests,
central sands, driftless area, south central Wisconsin and Kettle Moraine
State Forests of Eastern Wisconsin from Whitewater in the south to Door County
in the North. The trail can be found in 30 Wisconsin counties on federal,
state, local community and private land.
A bifurcation is planned around the historic edge of Glacial Lake Wisconsin, but trail segments are not yet established in the bifurcation aside from the Baraboo Segment.

How long is the Ice Age Trail?
The Ice Age Trail is roughly halfway complete. The planned route will be
approximately 1200 miles from terminus to terminus. Closer to 700-miles of
footpath are designated as Ice Age Trail segments which are currently
connected by connecting-road-routes.
How long does it take to walk the Ice Age Trail?
A through-hike of the full length of the Ice Age Trail takes between 10-16
weeks for most through-hikers.
How many segments are on the Ice Age trail ?
The Ice Age Trail is made up of 124 named segments as of 2024 with each
segment ranging from one to 15.5-miles. Most hikers will hike these segments
individually or eveb just parts of a segment as day hikes. So the range of
times to complete your hike varies. Most hikers spend less than an hour
hiking on the IAT in a single outing.
Which is the best segment of the Ice Age Trail?
Of course, that depends on what kind of hike you are searching for. A hiker
looking for an easy breezy walk in the sun may think the Clover Valley
Segment is the best. A hiker looking for lots of athletic hill climbs may
think that the Harrison Hills Segment is the best. A weekend backpacker
looking for wilderness camping along the trail will probably think that the
Lake Eleven Segment is the best.
Which is the most scenic segment of the Ice Age Trail?
This also depends on your idea of scenic. The St Croix Falls Segment
features postcard perfect views of the St Croix River. The Devils Lake
Segment is the most popular and most photographed segment - featuring
stunning views of rock formations in the talus slopes along the lake. The
Point Beach Segment features long stretches of sandy beaches on Great Lake
Michigan and is a contender for most scenic segment as well. If you scroll
through the Ice Age Trail Segments list below, you'll find a highlight
image of each segment and you can decide which is the most scenic.
Is there a fee or does it cost anything to hike the Ice Age Trail?
There is no use fee or permit to hike the Ice Age Trail.
Like highways, waterways, and other transit in the US, the Ice Age Trail
is supported by taxpayer dollars as well as donations.
You may find that a parking lot you wish to use to access the trail is
within a National Forest or Wisconsin State Park where you will need to
purchase a state park sticker to access the park with your motorized
vehicle.
Do you need a permit to hike the Ice Age Trail?
No permit is required to hike the Ice Age Trail.
Can I bike the Ice Age Trail?
Some segments of the Ice Age Trail are designated multi-use trails.
Otherwise, the trail is mostly restricted to foot traffic only - with
motorized vehicles, bikes of any kind, and horseback forbidden.
Which is the best direction to through-hike the Ice Age Trail?
The Ice Age Trail guidebooks describe the segments as running from the
Western Terminus to the Eastern Terminus. As a result, most believe this
to be the direction one is supposed to hike it. But the trail is
bookended by terminals, and there is no true starting and end point. No
particular direction.
Depending on the season you plan to hike it and how long you expect to
be on the trail it could be advantageous to hike it from East to West.
Consider a 4-month plan for hiking the trail beginning in June. If you
begin your journey in Door County, you'll be hiking through the eastern
and southern part of the state when biting bugs in the northern and
western part of the state are at their worst. In other words, you'll be
avoiding the worst of the mosquito swarm by starting in the East. The
segments in the North central and western part of Wisconsin are
generally more difficult and remote. By beginning on the easier and
flatter trail segments in the East you'll be building your strength
before facing the more difficult segments Up North. Another
consideration is rain. Spring and mid-summer tend to be wetter months in
Wisconsin. The trail segments in the northern region also have a
tendency to flood, so it can be advantageous to hike those segments in
the later Summer and Fall. And, finally, while Fall colors are brilliant
along the full length of the trail the segments in the north tend to be
the most forested and you'll be finishing your hike in peak color up
north. For all these reasons it seems best to hike the IAT from East to
West.
Can I camp along the Ice Age Trail?
You cannot disperse camp along most of the Ice Age Trail as you might on
other national trails. There are some designated Dispersed Camping Areas
on some IAT segments. You are limited to one night of camping and no
campfires are allowed at DCA's. In the Northern and Western regions the
Ice Age Trail often flows through national, state, and county forests
where you can disperse camp along the trail. Regulations, permitting,
and boundaries vary wildly between properties on the Ice Age Trail, and
it is difficult to plan for dispersed camping.
Many segments flow through State and County Parks where designated and
reservable campsites are available. Other private campgrounds are located
within a few miles of an Ice Age Trail trailhead.
