| Description | The Kettle Moraine and Lapham Peak were formed 10,000 years ago when a glacier covered much of Wisconsin. Lapham Peak's glaciated topography provides excellent running, hiking, backpacking, and cross-country skiing on lighted trails. Climb a 45-foot observation tower atop the highest point in Waukesha County (1,233 feet above sea level).
In addition to some easier novice trails, there are two great running trails:
(1) Ice Age Trail segment -- 7 mile out-and-back to Hwy 18. Lots of elevation, technical single track trails and a couple stretches of prairie.
(2) Lapham Black/Blue loop (cross-country skiing trail in the winter) -- 6 mile loop with varying degrees of intermediate/hard difficulty depending on whether you stay on Blue or Black. Both end up back at the same place. |
