Back in 2014 I did a blog about how I disliked the Eastern Terminus
of the Ice Age Trail. It was located in the dark and dreary woods next to
the Observation Tower at Potawatomi State Park. If you didn’t know
it was there, you would easily miss it
The blog post is located here: Eastern Terminus Blues
Then they shut down the Potawatomi Tower for structural reasons
after the 2017 season. I again contacted the IATA again suggesting they
move the Terminus. Mike Wollmer said they were working on it.
And then came the announcement. Back in April they announced
the Terminus would be moved to the Old Ski Hill Overlook.
I was thrilled.
On Saturday night, I was in Door County so I stopped by
the Terminus. Here’s the video: The New Eastern Terminus of the Ice Age Trail
Then, this morning I saw my first photo of someone completing at the new
Terminus. It was Heather Steady Werderman. Congratulations to her.
I am aware of her because she also hiked the North Country Trail
Looks Great!!!!
Thank you to the staffs at the Ice Age Trail Alliance and Potawatomi State Park
for making this happen. Now we have a great spot for the terminus!!!!!
