Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail Cross Country Ski Report – 12/26
Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail and Palmer Woods
December 26, 2022
Snow conditions are very good in most places. Get out there before the weather warms up!
Best ski conditions are at the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive. Park at the parking lot near the entrance and take the spur to the Heritage Trail. It is groomed from the parking lot to the trail, and the trail is groomed with two sets of classic tracks both ways.
Ski conditions are good from Glen Arbor to DH Day Campground.
The loop in the campground is groomed and really good.
The groomers worked from Glen Arbor to near Empire today. They will be working north of Glen Arbor tomorrow (12/27/22). Groomers will go from Crystal View Trailhead to Wheeler Road (Lawr Farm) and then up to Palmer Woods.
Down Tree Near Empire – There is a massive tree down across the trail completely blocking the trail about 0.5 miles north of the Bar Lake Trailhead parking lot. I’m not sure when this will be removed. Groomers had to turn around there, so the trail is not groomed between Empire and the down tree.
Dune Climb Sledding:
Heavy snow on the Dune Climb. Families were sledding today.
Backcountry ski and hiking trails (Old Indian, Platte Plains, Windy Moraine, Bay View, Good Harbor, Alligator Hill)
Fresh snow everywhere
Popular Hiking Trails (Empire Bluffs, Pyramid Point):
Snowshoes recommended if you are going to hike these trails.
Be ready to get out on the Lakeshore Trails whenever the snow flies and get the most up-to-date information about the winter trails and activities around the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore on our ‘Winter Trails Report’ page.
