Ice Age Trail Updates

Hikers should be aware that the Ice Age Trail is not a static entity. As the Trail evolves toward completion, its route changes over time as volunteers build new sections and other sections are rerouted or closed. Weather (flooding, storm damage and heavy snow) can alter Trail navigation and access. Humans activities such as hunting and land management (e.g., logging) can also affect Ice Age Trail use.

The following notes describe new sections and reroutes not described in the Companion Guide excerpt above and updates on navigation and access when weather and/or human activities affect the Trail.
