Hike the Chippewa Moraine Chapter

This map shows locations of all official Ice Age National Scenic Trail segments (blue lines; actual trail is marked with yellow blazes) and unofficial connecting routes (green lines; actual routes are unmarked). Double-click to zoom in and explore the Ice Age Trail route in detail.

The data shown on this map is for general information purposes only. The Ice Age Trail Alliance gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. It is strongly recommended that only the Ice Age Trail Atlas and Ice Age Trail Companion Guide 2008 be used as official resources for information about the Trail.

Please note that as the Ice Age Trail evolves toward completion, its route changes over time as volunteers build new sections and other sections are rerouted or closed. Weather and activities such as hunting and land management (e.g., logging) can also alter Trail navigation and access. Pushpins on the map above and detailed comments below are intended to keep Ice Age Trail users up to date on current Trail conditions and route changes (compared with the Ice Age Trail Atlas and Ice Age Trail Companion Guide 2008).

Ice Age Trail Atlas Map 16f; Ice Age Trail Companion Guide p. 265

Due to logging along the trail, the private landowner has requested that the trail be closed in this area. The detour route is as follows: Eastbound: Continue walking south on County Hwy E to 245th Ave. The distance from the trailhead on Hwy E (near Camp Nawakwa) to 245th Ave is 0.9 mile. Then proceed east on 245th Ave for 0.92 mile to the temporary trail entrance on the north side of 245th Ave. Westbound: Proceed across 245th Ave on the trail to a side trail to your left. This distance is 1.09 mi. Follow lightly marked temporary trail to 245th Ave (gravel road) and turn right (westbound) for 0.92 miles to County Hwy E. Turn right and walk (facing traffic) on Hwy E 0.9 mile to the westbound trailhead sign near Camp Nawakwa. Also see page 254 in the 2008 Chippewa County Plat Book.
