マニトウォック郡のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Walla Hi County Park was acquired in 1977 and spans 160 acres of a Kettle Moraine landscape. The park has scenic and well-marked hiking trails that meander through past springs, through woods, enter and open areas. Hikers can enjoy shaded paths in the forests, great for warmer days, but it can get a little buggy as well with the heat. The outer loop is used for equestrian trail riding, so keep an ear out for horses sharing the trail.

This segment of the Ice Age Trail winds through the 160-acre Walla Hi County Park, with nearly 200 feet of elevation change. The trail is easy to follow here and well marked, but it intersects other trails in this wooded park so keep that in mind at junctions.

Hikers can enjoy beautiful views from Lighthouse Park and walk the breakwater for an up-close look at this historic beacon.
