Waukesha/Milwaukee Chapter: Eagle and Stony Ridge Segments Hike

April 11, 2023 @ 10:00 am

Scuppernong Prairie in the spring

 The Hike:

We will hike from Hwy N through the Scuppernong Prairie on the bed of ancient Lake Scuppernong, which includes a grassy savanna. We will continue along a wooded esker as we return to the State Forest Headquarters.

The State Forest Headquarters is an interesting stop along the IAT. It has a museum dedicated to wildlife, geology, and local economic history. The display cases feature a number of artifacts found along the Ice Age Trail.  A gift shop, flush toilets and a water bottle refill station are available there.

Details:

This leisurely-paced hike is 4 miles long. Bring water. Dress for the weather as our hikes are held in all types of weather. We will only cancel if weather or conditions are unsafe. All ages and abilities are welcome. Ages 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Location:

Meet at the Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit Headquarters parking lot off of HWY 59. We will leave some vehicles there and carpool to the roadside parking area on Hwy N.

Email comments or questions to Mark  your hike leader.
