The Hike

Evening hike on a newer portion of the Ice Age Trail. The Trail now extends north from Indian Lake County Park on north side of Hwy 19 in the Halfway Prairie Wildlife Area.

Event Details

We’ll start in Indian Lake Park by the shelter, but then head north along the Trail, cross Hwy 19, check out the Matz farmstead ruins (built in 1907 and burned in 1948), and hike to where the segment ends. We’ll then loop around on some of the other trails on the property to return. About 3.5 miles total.

Tick and mosquito season is upon us. It is recommended that you wear long pants and long sleeves. Please bring bug repellent (or wear clothes soaked in Permethrin). Also bring water and a snack.

Location

The entrance for Indian Lake County Park is near the intersection of State Highway 19 and Matz Rd.  Follow the entrance road south to the parking area.
