Navigating the Ice Age Trail Online Information If you're looking to hit the Ice Age Trail for the first time, check out our our Hike by County page. Each region's "Explore the Trail" section contains downloadable Ice Age Trail segment descriptions and a regional map. Guidebooks The most thorough resources available for hike planning and navigation are our indispensable guidebooks, the Ice Age Trail Atlas and Ice Age Trail Companion Guide. The Ice Age Trail Atlas includes 105 color 1:48,000-scale maps of the entire Ice Age Trail. It locates parking areas, toilets, campgrounds, shelters and dispersed camping areas. And the shaded relief clearly illustrates Trail topography. The Ice Age Trail Companion Guide was written for all Ice Age Trail hikers, whether you're going on a short jaunt or a thousand-mile thru-hiking adventure. It includes a complete description of the entire thousand-mile Trail, connecting roads, trailhead access information and resupply, dining and lodging information. Comprehensive front- and back-matter sections contain helpful tips on trip-planning and a GPS waypoints index. GIS Data Cartography buffs wanting to dig deeper into Wisconsin mapping can visit the Wisconsin DNR WebView site. Using your browser, you can access and display a subset of Geographic Information System (GIS) data available at the DNR. You can also download a copy of the Ice Age Trail GIS centerline data to your hard drive. Cell phone tower companies should use this file for determining the agreed-upon one-mile buffer from the Ice Age Trail. Other utility companies should also find these data useful in determining potential impacts of proposed projects on the Ice Age Trail. After you download and unzip this file, you will need special GIS-compatible software, know how to use it and have additional data sets. Download IAT Centerline File (ZIPPED file, 831KB)
