About this park:

15,000 years ago during the Ice Age, much of North America lay under a huge glacier. Mammoths, saber tooth cats and cave lions roamed the earth. Some of the best evidence of this glacier is found in Wisconsin such as the state’s many lakes, river valleys, gently rolling hills, and ridges. The nearly 1,200 mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail, established in 1980, traces the glacier’s edge.

The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is not your ‘typical’ park. The trail is primarily built and maintained by volunteers. When completed, the trail will be more than 1,200 miles long and cross the state of Wisconsin north to south and east to west.

Why did we choose these colors?

We used the stunning photo of an opening in oak trees in the Kettle Moraine State Forest overlooking a kettle lake for our colorway inspiration.
