The warm weather might be throwing a wrench in some people’s holiday plans to go skiing, but while the snow stays at bay, exploring Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail might not a bad second choice.
The trail stands at a total of 1,200 miles across southern and central Wisconsin and is still growing. It runs through towns across the region, connecting communities with the outdoors. The conditions range from paved pathways to rugged and narrow trails.
“I personally like the Point Beach State Park area over in Manitowoc County. Just the forest there, the hemlocks and the cedars, and the different kinds of wildlife you see there. It’s just amazing its so beautiful,” said outdoors writer Rob Zimmer.
The wildlife on the trail spans a wide spectrum. “Along the trail you could see just about anything. I mean in some sections of the trail you could realistically see wolves or black bears, porcupines… I’ve seen mink and ruffed grouse, and wild turkeys and white tail deer, foxes,” said Zimmer.
The trail itself has largely been accomplished by community efforts. “Just about the entire trail has been put together by volunteers,” he said.
