Trail Description:
This trail is non-motorized and because it is close to the City of Park Falls, gets more year round use than many of the other trails in the area. There is some topography so the trails are not flat which is nice for both skiing and hiking. Grromed for classical cross country skiing in the winter, this trail provides more of a challenge for intermediate and experienced skiers, which may be too difficult for beginners. Check the Cross-Country Ski Trail Report for current conditions of this trail. Because the parking lot is shared with the Flambeau ATV trail, this area definitely has a more motorized or developed feel to it.
