**OVERVIEW**

Join the [winter campers](https://4142298.xyz/backpackers-150/events/304391748/?eventOrigin=group_events_list) on a roughly 11-mile out-and-back hike of the Ice Age Trail's [Scuppernong segment](https://wisconsin-explorer.blogspot.com/2017/04/hiking-ice-age-trail-scuppernong-segment.html?m=1). Let's meet at the [Ottawa Lake Campground Visitor Center](https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/kms/recreation/camping)
at 9:45 am. We'll carpool to the Hwy 67 trailhead (42.91896, -88.47333) and start the hike by 10 am, heading north towards Hwy C on the IAT, then turning back. Although the goal is to hike the entire distance, know that the hike itinerary/mileage is subject to change depending on the weather and the trail conditions. You are also free to lengthen or shorten your hike and turn back at your preferred point. We'll return to Ottawa Lake after the hike, reshuttle cars, and call it a good day. You are welcome to make it an even better day by winter camping with us!
