Minnesota's North Shore
has nearly 200K of groomed cross country trails winding through the
woods. Some consider these trails among the best in the country.
The North Shore area includes the Sugarbush Trail Association, Lutsen
Mountains Nordic Center, Cascade River State Park, Temperance River
State Park, and the Norpine Trail Association. Come ski the varied
terrain, enjoy the abundant snow, and view the spectacular scenery!

Comments:
We groomed the trail from the Caribou Parking Lot north to the Cook
County trail junction just south of Grand Marais this week. There's
between a 3 & 6" base on this section of trail. Warm temperatures
into the 30's have prevented us to groom south of the Caribou. The
trail south of the Caribou parking lot was packed and groomed last
week. If you do go riding, please use caution. Warm temperatures are
in the forecast.

hike from the Trail Center, or if you'd prefer a challenge, rent
some snowshoes - now available at the park office!

Comments: Still waiting
for a little more snow before the conditions are right for
backcountry skiing and snowshoeing. This unusual winter has made for
great hiking conditions into the winter months, but with some icy
spots on the trails some sort of ice walkers for your shoes are
recommended. Once we get snow, is it important to note that ski
trails at Temperance River are not groomed but are still excellent
for back country skiing and snowshoeing. Snowshoe rentals are
available at nearby Tettegouche State Park.
