Trail Report
2/22/2012 - Discovery Center trails were groomed today (classic skiing only). With a few inches of fresh snow the trails are back in great shape! Powell Marsh trails are still open but will not be groomed for the rest of the season due to state logging operations. The warming hut restrooms on the Discovery Center grounds are open 7 days a week -- help yourself to some cookies and hot cocoa while you're there. Donations always appreciated:)

Our Trails
Enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, snowshoeing and wildlife watching along our 12-mile trail system. Our trails are OPEN TO EVERYONE, from dawn to dusk. The terrain is gentle and winds through the woods, along the lake, bog and nearby Manitowish River allowing you to explore a variety of habitats each with their own unique plants and animals. In the winter, trails are tracked for classic skiing, and we have snowshoes available for use. Members may use the snowshoes for free, general public pay $5 per pair.
December through April we host "Free Friday Adventures". Each Friday meet up with other folks around the area to enjoy one of our trails. Depending on weather, it may be a hike, snowshoe or XC ski. Sign up for updates on each week's adventure through our Facebook or Twitter pages.
April through October, enjoy our 22-Station Breeding Bird Trail. Signs are dispersed throughout the trail system, highlighting birds known to breed in or near that exact spot.
Check a few of them out!
