Great parking off Beaver Dam, 20+ cars. Excellent for Ice Age access and mountain biking as well. Short but wicked elevation. Service station available as well, just like Vilas County trail system.

A beautiful path that will make you feel like an adventurer no matter how experienced you are. Long stretches of forest, fields, and swamp make you appreciate nature in the fullest. Park towers give you a breathtaking view, especially at sunrise/sunset.

Best trails in the area. Much more difficult than any Kettle Moraine trail. Enjoy the steep hills, rocks, and the forest view is amazing in fall!
