Jaunt around Rice and Whitewater Lake Photo by Andrew Leggett
We drove around a scenic route that wrapped around the lakes. There is a 115 mile drive through the other Units; Pike Lake, Loew Lake, Lapham Peak, and Mukwoare River, until it reaches the Northern Unit. July, 2012

The terrain features of this area is a result of the Wisconsin Glacier movement during the last Ice Age. The Ice Age National Scenic Hiking Trail has three shelters for those keen to hike all of the way. Maybe next time. It is in the works to complete a trail through the state of Wisconsin, 600 miles are finished and it will reach a 1000. iceagetrail.org July, 2012

We went for a lovely drive to see the forest and soak up some of the history. The imagine of the glacial ice was appealing in the blistering heat.

It was sweltering with too many hills for us to consider cycling but it did not deter many that were better conditioned. A not coffee in the air conditioning suited us.
