Hartman Creek State Park

Hiking

Hikers have about 10 miles of varied trails to choose from at Hartman Creek State Park:

  • The Deer Path Trail, a 1-mile loop trail around Allen Lake, is especially scenic, offering a wonderful view of wildlife and the springs that supply all of the water to this lake.
  • Pope Lake Trail (1 mile) circles a pine plantation and is relatively flat.
  • The Windfeldt Trail is approximately 2 miles long and more open, going through parts of old orchard area and oak forest.
  • The most extensive hiking trail is the Oak Ridge System, 4.87 miles total.
  • Hartman Creek State Park also includes 3 miles of hiking on the 15-mile Ice Age Trail segment, crossing through Waupaca and Portage counties.
  • The Dike Trail is 1 mile long and crosses a narrow strip of land between Mid and Hartman lakes.

Off-road Bike Trails

There are about 5 miles of off-road biking trails in the park which are combination hiking/biking segments. These trails are not paved. Trail passes are required for users 16 years of age and older.
