Dane County Chapter
Whether you are a seasoned hiker or someone looking for an
easy guided stroll in the woods, you will find the Dane County
Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance has something for you. One of the original IATA chapters, we sponsor more than 50 events and activities each year. These include Trail building and maintenance outings, hikes and interpretive walks and prairie and woodland restoration projects. Check out our winter/spring events document and online events calendar for all the details on upcoming chapter outings.
Special Note: Join us on Saturday, June 2 (National Trails Day) for the Hike-a-thon! This will be a 21-mile fundraising hike on the Ice Age Trail from the southern edge of Dane County up to the Ice Age Junction area on McKee Rd. in Madison. Click here for more info.
We'd love it if you came to visit us at the Dane County Farmers' Market to meet a representative in person and ask any questions you might have. Our chapter promotes the Trail through displays at community functions and annual outdoor and restoration events.
