The Hike:

Join us as we hike the Eagle Segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The Eagle Segment skirts the eastern edge of the Kettle Moraine and the Niagra Escarpment. It meanders along the edge of what was once Glacial Lake Scuppernong. This trail is mild and easy walking characterized by frequent boardwalks through low wetlands, prairies, and thin forests. The Trail passes through the Kettle Moraine Low Prairie and Scuppernong Prairie State Natural Areas. It also belongs to the larger Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest.

Details:

This leisurely-paced hike is approximately 4 miles long. Bring water. Dress for the weather. This hike will only be canceled 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 Hwy 67 Trailhead parking lot. We will leave some vehicles there and carpool to the small parking area along on Hwy N  near Eagle, WI where we will begin our hike.

Contact Information:

Email comments or questions to Mark, your hike leader.
