The Iat - Albany Segment is a 9.3-mile point-to-point hike in Wisconsin, about a mile from the town of Monticello. It is a moderate route with a total elevation gain of 21 feet, so it's a mostly flat walk with a small climb along the way. The route is a single line from start to finish, and the steepest stretch comes at about 4.2 miles in, where the grade reaches 4%. Bikes are allowed, so it works for hikers and riders alike. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 73°F, while winter brings highs in the 20s and regular snow days. The Iat - Monticello Segment starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Havenridge Nature Trail and Walnut Trail are both about 3.7 miles off. Paddlers can reach the Little Sugar River, roughly 4.5 miles away.
