Wisconsin Hiking Trails

Wisconsin is well known for its outdoors recreation oportunities and features an abundance of hiking trails with variations suitable for day hikers, slackpackers, section hikers, and long distance hikers. Most trails are short and easy and can be found in State Parks or at nature preserves.

Wisconsin is also home to two national scenic trails: The North Country Trail and The Ice Age Trail. The North Country Trial cuts across the far northern region from Upper Michigan to Minnesota. The Ice Age Trail meanders along the terminal moraine through all regions of the state. A hiking trail is never far from wherever you may be in Wisconsin.

Below is a directory to articles and trail maps of hiking trails I have profiled on wisconsin-explorer.blogspot.com

NATIONAL TRAILS IN WISCONSIN

North Country National Scenic Trail

Mileage: approx. 120 miles
Route: Michigan border near Hurley to Minnesota border near Duluth
Difficulty: Moderate

The Wisconsin Segments of the NCT bring hikers to stunning waterfalls, alongside dozens of lakes, over countless streams and rivers, on mile-long boardwalks through bogs, and deep into remote northern forests. Black bear, elk, eagles, and wolves call this trail home. Backpackers in Chequamegon and Brule River sections of the NCT can immerse themselves completely in wilderness. But section hikers can also string together out-n-back day hikes and a few loop routes connected to the mainline.

Ice Age National Scenic Trail

Mileage: approx. 1000 miles
Route: Interstate State Park near Minneapolis to Potawatomi State Park near Sturgeon Bay
Difficulty: Easy-Moderate

The Ice Age National Trail traces the geological terrain shaped by glaciation in the last Ice Age. The trail rolls along gentle slopes of drumlins, kames, and eskers. The planned route of over 1000 miles touches every region of Wisconsin and brings hiking opportunities to the backyards of major population centers. Finding section hikes is easy and there are some sections of footpath extending enough miles for weekend backpacking. Each year more miles of footpath are added to this emerging national trail.
