The Scuppernong Trail Hike was established in 2020 and is held annually in late April. The Scuppernong Trail system is located in the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest on County Highway ZZ just east of Highway 67 north of the Village of Eagle. You can choose your own adventure on this hike based on the abilities of your hiking group. There are three clearly marked color-coded loop trails ranging from 2 to 5 miles. You are welcome to come and hike one or all of the trails during this event. The Scuppernong area provides convenient parking, water and a vault toilet. The trails have a nice rolling characteristic through hardwood forest and pine plantations. All hikers that register for this event will receive a limited edition commemorative patch. A state park vehicle sticker is required and is not included in the event registration fee. Park stickers can be obtained at the Scuppernong Trailhead or the Southern Kettle Moraine Ranger Station. Self Guided Hike option - Can't attend the official hike date? We will send you a patch and trail map in the mail so you can hike the trails on your own.

  • Red Loop, intermediate, 2.3 miles: Short and narrow with steep terrain is the only way to describe this loop. You’ll pass through pine plantations and hardwood forest.
  • Orange Loop, intermediate, 4.1 miles: This loop will take you deeper into the hardwood forest.
  • Green Loop, advanced, 4.9 miles: About halfway on this loop you will pass the edge of the Pinewoods Campground. As you continue through the pines, walk quietly down these old fire lands. When making your final descent from the ridge to the parking lot, you will experience a roller coaster of hills that you won’t soon forget.
  • Observation Loop, .5 miles: Enjoy a seat on this overlook with views of Ottawa Lake and the surrounding area.
