4 - Northern central
In Langlade County and counties to the west, long segments of trail have been established on county forest lands. Amid the northern forest spruce, fir, maple, and birch in Langlade County, the trail enters a region full of lakes and bogs formed by the melting of the glacier. In the lake-sprinkled Harrison Hills of Lincoln County, the high point of the trail--1,875 feet--is reached on the shoulder of Lookout Mountain. Timm's Hill National Trail, a side trail in eastern Taylor County, leads north 10 miles to the highest point in Wisconsin--1,951.5 feet-- in Price County. While walking the crest of eskers in Chequamegon National Forest in Taylor County, one gets a hint of what was once the great white pine and hemlock forest that provided the lumber to build the cities of the Midwest, and the tanbark for the leather industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
