Winter Recreation

An ungroomed cross-country ski trail runs along the service road (formerly the shuttle bus route) and Hardwoods Swamp Trail. A snowmobile trail crosses the western end of the park. Even the park’s Lake Michigan beach remains an attraction in the wintertime when a fantastic architecture of ice rims the shore.

The opening and closing of snowmobile trails are at the discretion of each county. Snowmobile trails that cross DNR lands are opened and closed consistent with the surrounding county (or counties). Whenever possible, the opening and closing of snowmobile trails are done on a county-wide basis, however, localized conditions may require localized trail opening and closing. It is the responsibility of the county to provide notification about the status of snowmobile trails.

The Travel Wisconsin Snow Conditions Report [exit DNR], local club and county snowmobile web pages [exit DNR] and telephone hotlines will provide the most current information.
