The Clover Valley Segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail (IAT) runs 1.6 miles (2.6 km) through the Clover Valley State Wildlife Area near Whitewater, Wiscosin in Walworth County. After several good snowfalls followed by a good bit of rain and temperatures above freezing, a glorious sunny day appeared. With the sun came an opportunity to step through icy water and melting snow.
The connecting route (CR) from the Storrs Lake Segment to the Clover Valley Segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail (IAT) runs 9.3 miles (15 km) along country roads. With a careful eye, small arrows along the route at most turns can be spotted.
