Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter – Trail Improvement Day

Join the Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter to improve the Ice Age Trail. Help clear the corridor and create sustainable new tread on a rerouted section of the Scuppernong Segment. This effort will address a badly eroded portion of the trail.

Explore the West Bend segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, offering a diverse hiking experience. Begin your journey on gravel paths that transition to sand, dirt, rocks, and even cliffs, providing ever-changing scenery. Enjoy views of water, dense forests, and a boardwalk bridge crossing a stream. Discover glimpses of Lucas Lake from a steep cliff trail, and observe local wildlife such as wild turkeys, deer, and various birds along the way. This accessible trailhead provides a great starting point for hikers of all levels, with ample parking and clear signage ensuring a pleasant and safe adventure through the natural beauty of West Bend.
