Lapham Peak Observation Tower via Ice Age Loop Trail in Kettle Moraine State Forest
The loop hike along the Ice Age Trail to the Lapham Peak Observation Tower is an immersive experience that winds through Kettle Moraine State Forest's rolling landscape, shaped by ancient glaciers. This route offers visitors sweeping views, including glimpses of Milwaukee’s skyline, nearby lakes, and Holy Hill’s distant spire. Once you reach the 45-foot tower, the panoramic sights over the tree canopy and restored prairies make the climb worth every step, especially during fall when the forest bursts into vibrant color. #Hiking #Loop #Overlook #Forest #Nature
