The Ice Age Trail is a designated National Scenic Trail in the United States that will run some 1,200 miles through the state of Wisconsin. It was established by Act of Congress in 1980 as a result of Congressman Henry S. Reuss's 1976 book On the Trail of the Ice Age.

As of 2003, some 600 miles of trail is completed. The trail wanders through the state following the southernmost location of the last continental glaciation.

Two books are published by the Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation to help visitors learn about or hike the Ice Age Trail: an 'Atlas' of maps and a 'Companion Guide' hiking book.
