“Walk With Me, and I’ll Take You Back Ten Thousand Years”

Immerse yourself in a lake-studded wilderness, in a still, forested landscape. This is the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.

Parade of Colors - Fall Hike on the Ice Age Trail - Saturday, October 5

Saturday, October 5th, is our Annual Parade of Colors Hike. At this annual hike, we offer shuttles of 2, 4, 5, or 6 miles. Hikers chose the distance that they want to hike.

Arrive to start your hike between 9 and 11 a.m. Leave your car at the Obey Center, and shuttlers will take you to your start point. Then hike back to the Obey Center where your car is waiting for you. The first Saturday in October brings us fall colors in all their glory. It is a beautiful time to hike this kettle lake-filled segment. The weather forecast looks great and the fall colors are starting to appear. It should be a great day for a hike.




We invite you to check out the people, the events, the projects, and the opportunities that await you on the IAT in Chippewa County through the pages on this website.
