Twilight Trail Hike – Waterville Segment
Great news, hikers! The Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance is back with the Twilight Trail Hikes series; its well-attended, weeknight series of hikes for 2024! This series of hikes will take place on the last Tuesday of the month, April through September. No need to sign up, just show up!
Hike:
This out-and-back hike of the Waterville Segment begins at the UWM at Waukesha Field Station (website), where we will experience a beautiful prairie walk. From there we’ll connect to the Waterville Segment and hike on to the drumlin located at the recently acquired WDNR property and return.
Details:
This is an easy, approximately 4 miles long hike. Remember to dress appropriately for the weather and bring water and a flashlight/headlamp, if conditions warrant. Dogs are welcome, but must be leashed and cleaned up after. Please bring water for your dogs as well.
