Bring on the cold!

Happy New Year!  In a more usual year, I could listen to the roar of sleds as I type this. December may have been the warmest on record up here (possibly breaking a record set in 1877/78), but 2024 is starting out with a big chill! The forecast shows us staying well below freezing continuously through the next week or longer.  That will definitely freeze the swampy areas! 

All land and lake ice snowmobile trails remain closed.  The cross-country ski trails in the Park are also closed, but the snowshoe trails are open to hiking.

Everyone here is itching for thicker ice on the lakes and snow to fall on the trails so we can enjoy riding and the camaraderie that comes with it.  Please join us and THINK SNOW to get this season revved up!
