  I started visiting Maraine ridge with my children's school groups. Now I go back with friends to hike the beautiful trails. You can really see exactly where the glacier stopped.

  My boyfriend and I come hiking here all the time. The gentleman who usually volunteers in the visitor's center is extremely personable and always has great information on trail conditions. The animals in the center are also fun to look at and represent range of animals found in the moraine. The best part about the Chippewa Moraine is that dogs are allowed off leash. We love taking our dogs for hikes and they love running free!

  While staying in Turtle Lake, my wife and I looked for a place at the state or national level to stretch our legs. After GPS was involved, we got dropped off at Sand Creek - where the prior center was (thanks SIRI). Finally we figure out how to get to the Center.... Just get to New Auburn and stay on Cty M. For about 9 miles. The place where the center is found is beautiful....the center is very nice as well. It could be enjoyed in full in about :30 minutes. We visited on a nice day in March... So Mosquitos were not a problem. We took the short Mammoth trail -.7 of a mile that runs a nice loop of climbs and descents. A wonderful side trip that - other than the challenge of finding it - would get my highest rating.

  Just beautiful there! Children get to do a scavenger hunt, but best of all the volunteers at the area go through each item they found and talk with the child about it. What a learning experience! Having an opportunity to touch and hold some of the snakes and turtles is very exciting, and very memorable. Hiking and all the education with in the whole area is just great. Everyone should take time out to enjoy and learn about the area.

  This place has a great interpretive center, helpful and friendly park rangers and long and interesting hiking trails. Take the mosquito repellent, though, if you go during the warm months of the year. The mosquitos were relentless on our hike!

  Nicely groomed trails, knowledgable staff at the Visitors center, beautiful country. Take insect repellent and good hiking shoes. We hiked the Circle Loop. Went past and around many lakes and moraine areas. Saw lots of birds. Met some nice people who were on the Ice Age Trail portion.

  Great place to take children. The visitor's center and the gentleman manning the desk are great. The hikes are easy but offer enough challenge for a 4 and 7 year old to make it an adventure.

  The moraine is a geological formation that dates from the end of the Ice Age. This area of Wisconsin have a very nice of those, and you can learn a lot about it just by visiting the little Visitor Center.This area has a number of trails and it is exceptionally beautiful during fall, you can have a great view of the moraine from the Visitor Center. The colors are amazing. Another thing we notice during the trail was the incredible amount of mushrooms growing in the woods, in the most diverse colors and shapes (you shouldn't touch them, but you can get great pictures).

  We frequent this place to start our hikes on the Ice Age Trail - they are open 365 days a year, have bathroom facilities and educational exhibits including live snakes! ! Ew. The staff are friendly and helpful and have great information about the area - and of course the miles of trails on the Ice Age are awesome.
