Welcome! The High Point Chapter, officially organized in 1986, works throughout the year to create, maintain, and promote the Ice Age National Scenic Trail in Taylor County through group hikes and work outings.
Chapter volunteers maintain the 50+ Ice Age Trail miles through the County, but chapter membership is not required to help maintain the well-loved segments. Come join us!
Hiker Resources
We invite you to explore the beautiful, rugged, adventurous Ice Age Trail miles winding through Taylor County. For up-to-date weather conditions, please check the information offered by these two resources: the Taylor County Airport (KMDZ) and the U.S. Weather Service.
We ask hikers to report Trail conditions by emailing HighPointChapter@iceagetrail.org, so chapter volunteers can attend to difficult spots and make improvements.
Please check Trail Alerts maintained by the Ice Age Trail Alliance for up-to-date information about Trail closures, reroutes, and the like.
