Brought my 4 and 8 year olds out for this hike on a rainy spring day. Starting off at the Janesville outdoor school is good because of the signage and cabin. Then taking the trail down towards marsh creek offers good views of the valley. The last part of the ice age trail offers some old trees and hills.

Great scenic walk along a creek. I dont know if its part of the ice age trail, but its close to it. The creek was so clean and clear I couldnt help but splash around in it.

I wish this trail was a bit longer. Lots of repairs needed to be done. Lots of fallen trees and a bridge was out. Dry run off. But it was nice to finally get to hike in Wisconsin. Just about a 3 mile hike and it’s a loop.

Nice wooded area for a walk but signs say “NO PETS” and we drove a significant distance for this with our pooch AFTER looking for any info regarding pets and failing to find. Info should be updated.

Many wooded trails through at times steep terain formed by many, many years of erosion. Great area for birders. Good chance you will see deer if you venture off the beaten path.

Beautiful place to hike and get away to the woods. The trails a a little scary in the winter due to being icy.

Easily one of the prettiest places in Janesville for a hike. Open to the public daily from sunrise to sunset. Great place for a picnic and full of wildlife!

It was looking overgrown today, but it looks like a nice learning place. Instead of guessing at which way to go as I didnt see a clear area map, we traversed the Ice Age Trail instead & it was a nice hike through the forest.

It looks a little overgrown and forgotten about, I hope to see it cleared of invasive species and fallen trees soon.

Great stretch of the Ice Age trail. Do not follow google maps and turn onto Arbor Ridge Way. If using Cty A the entrance is past the entrance to Arbor Ridge Way. And if using Cty E parking is across the street from Northridge Dr. There is no parking along Arbor Ridge Way.
