We maintain approximately 50 miles of Ice Age National Trail in Wisconsin. Our area is located in Rusk, Barron, Washburn, and Burnett counties. The Ice Age Trail, one of only eleven National Scenic Trails, is a thousand-mile footpath highlighting Wisconsin’s world-renowned Ice Age heritage and natural resources. The Ice Age Trail Alliance is a non-profit volunteer and member-based organization established in 1958 that works to create, support, and protect the Ice Age Trail.
Our chapter meets 6:30-8:00 p.m. monthly on the third Tuesday at Don Johnson Motors-Rice Lake.
Our chapter holds seasonal hikes, including National Trails Day hikes, snowshoe hikes, bird walks, and the Fall Adventure Weekend. Go to the calendar for details on upcoming events.
Check out our Facebook Page: Superior Lobe Chapter – Ice Age Trail Alliance. We would invite you to share photos of your Superior Lobe Chapter hikes.
We offer the Superior Lobetrotter Award to hikers who register and complete all 48 miles of Ice Age Trail from CTH-F in Rusk County to Lake 32 Rd. in Burnett County. Also, your dog can receive an award. Brochure-Hiking Log[2679].pdf- July 2021 (Print off is below-be sure to set printer settings to print on both sides /flip on short edge.)
