The trail map in Ice Age Trail Passport. Finished segments are green, one segment is selected, and a blue dot shows where you are.

The Ice Age Trail is about 1,200 miles of footpath and connecting roads across Wisconsin, following the edge of the last glacier from St. Croix Falls to Sturgeon Bay.

The app tracks all 130 segments and the connecting routes that join them. Finish a segment and it turns green on the map and gets a stamp in your passport.

  • Finished
  • Started
  • Not yet
  • Connecting route

An example. Your own map fills in as you log hikes.

Common questions

Does it work offline?

Mostly. The trail lines and your saved hikes show without a signal, and a hike you log offline syncs when you're back online. Some of the map's background detail waits until you have a connection.

Do I need FarOut too?

For navigation, yes. Keep using a trail guide such as FarOut. Ice Age Trail Passport is the log and the passport. It shows the trail and where you are, but it doesn't give directions.

Is it official?

No. This app isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the Ice Age Trail Alliance or the National Park Service. The trail data comes from both of them. Check current trail conditions and closures before you hike.

Can my partner and I share an account?

Yes. Sign in with the same email and password on both phones and you both see the same hikes and photos. The subscription belongs to the account, so it covers both phones.

Does the app track my location?

No. It uses your location on your phone to draw the blue dot and to notice when you reach a trailhead. Your location never leaves your phone and isn't stored.

How do I cancel?

Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, and choose Ice Age Trail Passport. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or the year ends. The support page has the steps.
