TRANSCRIPT
DEVIL’S STAIRCASE SEGMENT (1.8 miles) One of the most popular hiking trails in Janesville, the remarkable, remote-feeling route will make hikers forget they are in a city. Located in Riverside Park, this segment traces the limestone escarpment on an elevated ledge above the Rock River – a stepped geological feature warranting the nickname Devil’s Staircase.
JANESVILLE SEGMENT (up to 10-miles) This segment follows the City’s extensive paved trail system that links parks to create an urban greenbelt and it is an excellent way to tally some miles and explore downtown Janesville!

Unless otherwise noted, dogs are allowed on the Ice Age Trail and should be under control and leashed at all times. Dogs are NOT permitted in Janesville Paks or trails (include Ice Age) May 15 – September 15; must be leashed at all other times.
ARBOR RIDGE SEGMENT (2.1 miles)This scenic segment through the Robert O. Cook Memorial Arboretum is close to Janesville but feels miles away. It traverses an area of bedrock hills covered with till from glacial advances much older than those explored by most of the Ice Age Trail.
