The Presentation
Have you ever wanted to walk along the Ice Age Trail. Ever wonder how the Kettle Moraine was formed? Experience and enjoy Wisconsin’s own Ice Age National Scenic Trail!
The IAT is one of only eleven National Scenic Trails in the country, a 1,200 mile footpath found entirely within the state of Wisconsin. It traverses through some of the state’s most beautiful natural areas, including Walworth/Jefferson counties. Ancient glaciers carved the path through rocky terrain, opened prairies, kettle lakes, and peaceful forests. Today, hikers, backpackers and outdoor lovers of all ages step out on the Trail to unplug, relax, explore and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
