Trail Description: A mix of winding trails through the woods and some wide open meadows. The meadows will be groomed with a snow cat if snow depth allows. The woods are groomed with a Tidd Tech and a tracked 4 wheeler, but they are as smooth as if they’ve been groomed with a cat. Wooded trails are plenty wide for great skating. You can pass comfortably, but they are not wide enough for two skate lanes. Meadows are super highways.
About the Venue: There is also a small downhill slope with a rope tow and a sledding hill. There is also an indoor pool, but pool availability is unkown at this time.
