The Village of Slinger is now a partner of the Ice Age Trail Alliance! Please join us for our Ice Age Trail Community Designation Event. An Ice Age Trail Community is a place where Ice Age Trail enthusiasts enjoy healthy walks, visit local businesses and take part in events. These communities work hand-in-hand with the Ice Age Trail Alliance to advance the Ice Age Trail, promote the qualities that make each place unique, and provide pathways to community health and well-being. Together, the Ice Age Trail Alliance and Trail Communities promote the unique qualities that make the Trail, and the community it travels through, a meaningful destination. You will have an opportunity to meet Hootie, of the Slinger School District and there will be cake!

Following the ceremony, we will hike to Pike Lake State Park for Discovery Day, in celebration of National Trails Day. This is a fun event for the entire family! Activities for all ages will include geocaching, archery, t-shirt painting, a wildlife show, kayak demos, telescope viewing, fishing and hiking (including a tyke hike for the little ones). This event concludes with a grand opening ceremony and dedication of the new outdoor amphitheater featuring live music and guest speakers.
