SLINGER, Wis. — The Ice Age Trail in Washington County is getting an extreme makeover this week as volunteers add 1.5 miles of trail in Slinger off of Highway NN.

The expansion project is in partnership with the Cedar Lake Conservation Foundation and will have volunteers working through Saturday.

People driving by can see crews in hard hats removing stumps, taking out rocks, creating footpaths and making the new trail smooth. They're even building a brand new bridge on the trail.

Some volunteers have helped the Ice Age Trail Alliance expand all over the state for years, saying it's a great way to get outdoors, work hard and bond with other nature advocates.
