Join us on Sunday, October 13th, for a hike on the Chippewa River Segment. Afterward, we will head for the Cornell Visitor’s Center to meet Monty the Mammoth, our IATA mascot.

Hikers should meet at the Ice Age Trail parking lot on Cty CC west of Cornell at 11:45. The hike will begin at 12:00.

We will hike high above the Chippewa River before crossing Cty CC to enter the Krank Preserve. We will hike the hills, cross creeks, and circle around Perch Lake before reaching the trailhead on Cty. Z. We will then return along the trail back to the CC parking lot. This out-and-back hike is 3.8 miles.

This is a great hike to bring your kids or grandkids. Children will be encouraged to find a walking stick along the way. After the hike, they can bring their walking stick to the Cornell Visitor’s Center, where they will have the opportunity to meet Monty the Mammoth. Kids will decorate their walking sticks with the art materials provided. They will also play Ice Age Trail BINGO. (Extra walking sticks will be available for kids who don’t find one on the trail.)
