Old Immigrant Trail and "Old Trail Made New*

In 2007 a deluge of rain caused much damage along the trail systems of Wyalusing State Park. Trails simply disappeared. Ravines replaced areas that once had steps. Trees, rocks, and boulders were strewn over all of the trails along Wisconsin Ridge.

The staff of Wyalusing State Park as well as other DNR people spent the last eight years repairing, rerouting, and rebuilding the trail system.

The last trail, Old Immigrant Trail, was finally opened in the summer of 2015.*
