Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter: Wee Walkers Halloween Hike

About:

Hartland became Wisconsin’s first Ice Age Trail Community in 2015, and this walking club was formed to bring people–both adults and “Wee Walkers”–together to enjoy the trail, community, and each other. Bring your kids onto the Ice Age Trail with the Hartland Walking Club’s “Wee Walkers” program–monthly hikes designed especially for tykes! They’d love to have you join them for a walk!

The Walk:

This month the Wee Walkers will complete a Connecter Route in their quest to complete the full Hartland Segment of the Ice Age Trail in 2023. We will hike south along the road connector route from Foxwood Drive to Fairway Court. It is a quiet, scenic, stroller-friendly road through a subdivision. Check their Facebook page for updates.

Details:

This hike is approximately 1 mile long. Costumes are encouraged and, while we’ll skip the tricks, Halloween treats will be provided! Bring water. If conditions are unsafe we will cancel.

Walks are led by 5-year-old Simon, 3-year-old Ophelia, 1-year-old Rhea, and their mom, Christina, an Ice Age Trail volunteer (and kid at heart). All ages are welcome; kids must be accompanied by an adult. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome.

Christina Callies and the Hartland Recreation Department organized this hike. Register in advance to ensure that you receive notification in the event this hike is postponed or canceled. You can also just show up at Elmbrook Church Lake Country, too. There is no fee for this activity.

Location:

In order to avoid an out and back on the road, hikers will meet at the northeast corner of the Elmbrook Church Lake Country parking lot for a bus shuttle to Foxwood Drive. We will then hike back to the church where our cars are parked.
