Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit
DNR.Wisconsin.gov/Topic/Parks/KMN
The Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest is comprised of nearly
30,000 acres and contains some of the most stellar glacial
remnants of the last Ice Age. In fact, this region was formed as
two tongue-shaped ice sheets collided, creating a valley of ice
some 10,000 years ago. As these huge sheets of ice melted, the
meltwater cascaded into crevasses carrying sand, gravel, and
boulders, depositing them along the way. This is what shaped
the rolling ridges and deep kettles, large crater-like depressions,
that make up the topography of this beautiful forest.
