The Ice Age Scenic Trail is a 1100-mile footpath stretching from Wisconsin’s Interstate Park to the Door County Peninsula tracing the terminal moraine of the last glacier. How did it come into existence? Who owns it? How did it get built? Who maintains it and how? What are the user groups? How can you get involved with the trail? Jerry will answer these questions and give you more information, some of it first-hand on the trail.
