Welcome to scenic northwest Wisconsin! The Brule-St. Croix Chapter of
the North Country Trail Association invites you to enjoy the forests, lakes and
rivers of our trail country near Lake Superior.
Our chapter was formed to develop, maintain, and promote use of the North Country National Scenic Trail from Bayfield County Highway A, south of Iron River, Wisconsin, to the Wisconsin-Minnesota border near Foxboro, Wisconsin.
Since our beginning in May, 1997 we have built miles of trail in Northwest Wisconsin; established an annual National Trails Day hike to promote trail use; and organized an enthusiastic and growing group of trail supporters in our area.

Chapter Activities
Iron River Hikers
The Iron River Hikers meet at 9 AM each Tuesday at Orchards Cafe in Iron River. If you'd like to take an interesting walk, be there...the group chooses a trail section, travels together to the trailhead, enjoys hiking together, then often follows up with lunch at a nearby restaurant. They hike year round! For more information, contact Bob Norlin, 715-372-5229.
