Iola Quad section 30
Coleman Atlas page 65-D8

This is a liner with Portage County to the west. From the intersection of WI-161 and WI-49 at the northern end of Iola, zero your odometer.

0.0 WI-161 and WI-49 – Go north on WI-149.
2.8 Erickson Road – Turn left (southwest). Many turns in this road.
4.4 Trout Creek Road – Turn right (west).
5.9 Driveway at E138 – Drive up to the house and park.

Get permission to hike. The high point is in the woods just north of their garage in 0.2 mile. Climb to the highest point (1,230+ feet) in Portage County, then turn east down the ridge until you’re satisfied you’ve crossed the county line. I went up and down the ridge twice to be sure. There are lots of “No Hunting", “No Trespassing” and “No Fishing” signs in the area.
