2 - Southern central/Devils Lake
In northeastern Rock County, the trail route follows railroad corridors north of the end moraine. The trail then meanders through Janesville, utilizing its system of parks and greenways. In Green County, a segment of the trail follows the Sugar River State Trail, affording an opportunity to explore the eroded remnants of features left by the glaciation prior to the most recent Wisconsin Glaciation.

The trail route returns to the end moraine of the recent glaciation in Dane County, skirts Madison's west edge, and leads to several glacial meltwater channels cut into the bedrock hills of the Driftless Area, such as in the Cross Plains Unit of the Ice Age National Scientific reserve. The resistant quartzite of the Baraboo Hills halted the glacier's advance in Sauk County and provides the greatest relief found along the trail.--over 880 feet.
