Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area
State park in Chippewa County, Wisconsin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area is a state park unit of Wisconsin, United States, preserving numerous glacial landforms. The abundance and quality of these geological features led to its being included in the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail passes through the park. The park is largely undeveloped, but its modern visitor center serves to interpret the area's geological and biological features. Official documentation alternatively refers to the park as the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Reserve or the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age National Scientific Reserve. It is located in northwestern Chippewa County.
