JUNIOR RANGERS and WISCONSIN EXPLORERS

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' Junior Ranger/Wisconsin Explorer Program is an exciting environmental education activity program for children and their parents to do together while visiting Wisconsin's state parks and forests, including those along the Ice Age Trail!

When at least half of the activities in the booklet are completed, the child receives a colorful patch and a certificate. The patch and certificate can be awarded at any participating state park, or you may complete the activities at home, and mail the answer sheet to a park.

This sign designates a trailhead at the Dells of the Eau Claire Park in Marathon County.  

Did You Know?
The oldest exposed bedrock along the Ice Age Trail occurs at the Dells of the Eau Claire in Marathon County and Grandfather Falls in Lincoln County. In both areas bedrock outcrops have been dated at about 1.8 billion years old.
