Kettle Moraine Map with Camp Site
Biking Trail Map
| Map from Church to Camp
KETTLE; ket-'l, kettle-shaped depressions in the landscape formed by the melting
of large blocks of ice that were buried in glacial
drift.
MORAINE; mo-ran', hilly belts of connected ridges and mounds that are usually formed
along the glacier's
edge.
Kettle Moraine is a 100 mile band of hills, ridges, and depressions in eastern Wisconsin formed along the
intersection of two gigantic lobes of ice during the last Ice Age, 10,000 to 25,000 years ago.
The kettles are places where blocks of ice were burried under sand and gravel. When the ice melted,
the soil on top caved in creating depressions. Some filled with water up to 100 feet deep. A forest of
hardwoods mixed with pine plantations cover the landscape.
There are 5 different trail loops of differing difficulty and duration to choose from....
Red Loop (1.5 miles)
The Red loop is a good, short (beginner level) loop through open
fields,
scattered pines and hardwoods. This loop has only one small downhill section.
Some bikers use this loop to warm-up before taking the other loops.
White Loop (4.0 miles)
The White loop, an intermediate level trail, adds roughly 2 miles
to the Red loop. You will encounter a narrow section of the trail that overlooks
the
largest of three leatherleaf bogs.
Orange Loop (5.3 miles)
The Orange loop offers steep uphills and downhills, but avoids the more
technical sections
that are encountered on the Green and Blue loops.
Green Loop (6.8 miles)
Some of the roughest most diverse sections of the Kettle Moraine Forest
will be
encountered as you travel along the Green and Blue loops. Because
of the steep hills, rocky terrain and sharp turns, the green and blue loops
are popular with serious
mountain bikers.
Blue Loop (10.0 miles)
Some of the best single track in the area, this loop was designed just for
mountain biking. The blue loop takes
you 3.2 miles deep into an old growth forest.
If you are ready to test your physical strength and ability, take the blue loop!.
