CROSS COUNTRY SKIING & SNOWSHOEING –
LANTERN LIGHT SKI / SNOWSHOE TRAIL – THIS IS THE LAST ONE FOR THE SEASON! Join park naturalist Bob Wild, this Saturday from 6:30 pm – 9 pm eastern time, on the Superior Loop trail. Both skiers and snowshoers are welcome. He’ll have hot drinks waiting at the campfire, half way around the loop! FUN AND FREE!
Ranger Rick is reporting good trail conditions! He laid track on the entire system on Wednesday and Thursday. He advises warm daytime temps and below zero nighttime temps could create slow conditions in the afternoon and fast/icy in the morning. Otherwise, the trails are fully covered and in great shape.
For a map log onto www.mi.gov/porkies Trail grooming is funded through donations made directly to the park.
Help the park by making a donation today! Envelopes are available at the trailheads. Thank you!
