The Ice Age National Scenic Trail has its eastern terminus here. Congress designated the trail a National Scenic Trail in 1980 and Wisconsin's first State Scenic Trail in 1987. Its western terminus is in Interstate State Park on the Minnesota border near St. Croix Falls. Commemorating the Wisconsin Glaciation, which ended about 10,000 years ago, this 1,200-mile trail highlights the landscape formed by the forces that shaped much of North America. The National Park Service, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation, and thousands of citizen volunteers cooperate in the development and management of the trail.
