Event Description:
The Northwoods Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance will host a guided snowshoe hike in the Underdown area of the Lincoln County Forest on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, starting at 10 a.m. Participants should plan to meet at the Underdown Recreation Area parking lot on Copper Lake Rd.
Come and enjoy the wonderful landscape created by the Great Wisconsin Glacier about ten thousand years ago. A UW geology and geophysics professor described the Underdown as a ‘world class hummocky feature’ of glacial topography. In simpler terms, the area has swamps, lakes, bogs, and hills abundantly.
The trail is well marked and packed, hikers can chose between distances of one to four hours depending on your ability, experience, and endurance. The trail is ‘moderately difficult.’ Plan to bring your own snowshoes, drink, and weather appropriate clothing. If not enough snow for snowshoes, we will hike and you may want to bring cleats.
