First Day Hike at Kettle Moraine State Forest – Pike Lake Unit

Join us to start the new year on a high note! Wear plenty of layers and well-treaded boots, as there might be mud or ice on the trails. Choose one of the guided hike options: 0.5-mile loop (boardwalk- easy), 2-mile loop (green trail – moderate), 3-mile loop (orange trail – moderate). Come out to enjoy the crisp winter air, quality time with new friends, and a giant bonfire for a cozy finish. Meet at the Amphitheater.

This event will be held rain or shine.

Group/Program Hosting: DNR Staff & Ice Age Trail Alliance
Event Location: Amphitheater. 3250 Kettle Moraine Rd. Hartford, WI 53027
