Hemlock Creek Segment, Ice Age Trail

This segment of the Ice Age Trail crosses Pigeon Creek and passes through a small stand of even-age aspen and birch before reaching a prairie, which gives way to a stand of old-growth mixed hardwoods. The climax viewing area is at a large beaver pond with an Osprey nest and Great Blue Heron rookery consisting of more than 75 nests. The site offers some boardwalks.
