Another good spot to park and explore would be Otter Lake Park, which is not too far from the Ice Age Trail, just take Bear Trail Rd. to Otter Lake Rd. and you’ll end up at Otter Lake. You could also just go for a slow drive down Bear Trail, Turtle Lake and Beaver Trail Roads which have a variety of habitats.
