Ice Age Trail

Hickory Hills Loop
This is an easy 2.5 mile loop to the top of the bluffs and down through the forest valley behind the bluff.  The beginning of the trail starts with a steep ascent up the gravel path.  Once you are up the bluff, you walk across the prairie to the woods.  The rest of the hike takes you up and down the valley through the woods.  We have hiked this trail year-round, and sometimes bring our snowshoes when there is fresh snow.  This is also a favorite hike for our dogs!

Table Bluff Segment
This is a moderate 4.5 mile out-and-back trail on part of the Ice Age Trail.  Once you make it up the bluff, there is a small pavilion for resting or a picnic.  This would be a great place for birding, as you look down on the wetlands below.  This trail is accessible year-round.  Another great spot to stop is right down the road at Festige County Park.
