Table Bluff segment

Welcome to another hike hosted by the Sole Seekers hiking group. Our group was formed last year with the desire to bring people together to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the special trail that we have within our state.

This hike will pick up on the southern portion of the Table Bluff Segment, traveling through more of the Driftless Area, highlighting the Alliance-owned SwampLovers and Holmes Preserves. The terrain will include restored prairie, oak and hickory woodlands, dramatic rock outcroppings of dolomite with stunning views of the Blue Mounds.

The Hike:
We will begin this hike from the Table Bluff trailhead at Scheele Road and proceed north to Table Bluff Road for approximately 2.4 miles and then return back to Scheele Road for a total of 4.8 miles.
This is a moderate difficulty hike.
There is a portable toilet on the top of the Bluff at "Picnic Hill"
Well behaved, leashed dogs are welcome.

What to wear/bring:
Layers for variable temperatures and weather conditions.
Day pack with water, snacks, sunscreen, mosquito repellent.
Hiking poles may be helpful.

Our goal is to host group hikes along all the Dane County Ice Age Trail segments over the next couple seasons. Those that complete the segments with us will receive a special "Sole Seekers" sticker, in addition to being eligible for a Dane County Ice Age Trail patch.
