Explore 30,000 Acres of Rolling Hills, Lakes, Forests and Grasslands

The Kettle Moraine State Forest was given to us a mere 15,000 years ago, during the Ice Age, when our area lay under the grip of colossal ice sheets. It is said that nowhere is the glacier’s mark upon the land more impressive than in Wisconsin, namely the Northern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest.

Park highlights include the Henry S. Reuss Ice Age Interpretive Center and Parnell Tower. The Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive and the Ice Age National Trail also run through the forest.

The forest provides relaxation and recreation throughout all four of our glorious seasons. Summer provides picturesque camping, biking, hiking, fishing or swimming at one of our three beaches. Fall in love with our colors as your meander through our winding roads during the autumn season. Winter provides excellent opportunities for skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. Then watch as the forest comes alive during the spring season.

Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive – Driving directions

3.35 mile segment of the Ice Age National Trail

The trail crosses the Labudde Creek State Fishery Area in Elkhart Lake. The area features hills that are small and easy rollers. A stretch of the trail is currently routed on roads. The LaBudde Creek Segment is either the last or the first of the segments in Sheboygan County. It is disconnected by many miles to adjacent IAT segments in Manitowoc and the Greenbush Segment in the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest. Nonetheless, this segment remains a draw for day hikers visiting Elkhart Lake.

This segment is split in two as trail has not yet been routed through some of the State Fishery Area. Long hills on Badger Road and Little Elkhart Lake Road lie between the two footpath segments. There are large gravel parking lots near the beginning of each of the two footpath sections.

The footpath areas are partially forested and partially open in restored prairies. Views of the surrounding wooded hills and the wetlands in the low areas along Labudde Creek are photogenic and scenic.
