Hiking is a good way to get close to nature and understand your natural environment a little better. In addition to our four nature trails, the NHAL has seven other trails designated for hiking. There are also hundreds of miles of old logging roads, less traveled town roads, forest access roads and snowmobile trails that offer good hiking.
The Northern Highland American Legion State Forest is located in Vilas, Oneida and Iron counties, in heart of the Northwoods near the cities of Woodruff and Minoqua. It is approximately four hours northeast of Minneapolis and four hours north of Madison.
