About the Ice Age National Scenic Trail:
Starting at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway on the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota, this scenic trail winds its way across Wisconsin to Potawatami State Park in Door County. The Ice Age Trail Corridor passes through the west side of Dane County from Lodi Marsh in the Town of Dane to the Brooklyn State Wildlife Area in the Town of Montrose. The trail traverses the end of moraine of Dane County's last glacier, passing through oak savannas, prairies, and oak, hickory, and maple forests. In cooperation with the Ice Age Trail Foundation, Dane County features several links to completed sections of the corridor: Indian Lake County Park, Badger Prairie County Park, Prairie Moraine County Park, Ice Age Reserve Wildlife Area. Please visit US National Parks for more information.
This park is supported by Ice Age Trail Alliance and Friends of Badger Mill Creek Environmental Corridor.
