Waushara County Chapter

Accessing the Chaffee Creek Segment
(on the border of Marquette and Waushara counties)
Ice Age Trail Atlas Maps 52f and 53f; Ice Age Trail Companion Guide p. 177-183
The access to the Chaffee Creek Segment described in the Atlas and Companion Guide is incorrect. Hiking south-to-north along Hwy CH in Marquette County, the route is incorrectly described as heading north up Becker Rd. to reach the start of the segment. The correct route requires hikers to continue past Becker Rd. on Hwy CH until Hwy CH intersects with Czech Ave. in Waushara County: Walk north on Hwy CH, cross the Marquette/Waushara county line, then continue north 1 mile. At Czech Ave. turn right and go east 0.4 miles. At 5th Rd. turn right and go southeast 0.7 miles. At 6th Ave. turn right and go south 0.6 miles to the end of the street. Here, the Ice Age Trail intersects the road. Turn right onto the Ice Age Trail and go south 1 mile to the southern trailhead of the Chaffee Creek Segment, then turn around and head back north to start hiking the full segment. (07/07/08)
