With winter in full swing, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment announces that they have 23-cross country ski trails groomed and ready for skiers.
In the forests of Michigan there are 23-cross country trails in Upper and northern Lower Peninsulas.
A total of 14 of those trials will be groomed this season.
These include:
Blueberry Ridge in Marquette County, Ogemaw Hills in Ogemaw County, and VASA in Grand Traverse County.
Seven pathways will be groomed under volunteer agreement; Chippewa Hills and Norway Ridge both in Alpena County, Black Mountain in Presque Isle County, Tisdale Triangle in Roscommon County, Days River in Delta County, Canada Lake in Luce County, and Indian Lake in Schoolcraft County.
Also, four pathways will be groomed by DNRE staff due to private donations; Muncie Lakes in Grand Traverse County, Cadillac in Wexford County, Algonquin in Chippewa County, and Pine Baron in Otsego County.
The remaining pathways will be available for ungroomed cross-country skiing and only a few will have plowed parking lots available.
A full list of 2010-2011 State Forest Cross-Country Ski Pathways can be found on the DNRE website. CLICK HERE.
