ross country skiing is a great way to get out<br />

and enjoy the outdoors in the winter. In<br />

<strong>Marinette</strong> <strong>Co</strong>unty, you’ll find both a state<br />

park and state forest with miles of groomed<br />

trails open to skiers. Peshtigo River State<br />

Forest features two groomed loops, one that<br />

is 5 miles long and another that is 3 miles long.<br />

Gov. Thompson State Park also has 6 miles of<br />

groomed ski trails. Candlelight ski and hike<br />

nights are held at both locations.<br />

<strong>Marinette</strong> <strong>Co</strong>unty also offers cross<br />

country ski trails along the Peshtigo River<br />

at the Hemlock Curve trails. This is a twomile<br />

system with easy terrain that can<br />

also be hiked. The Woods Road ski trail is<br />

another great option.<br />

It’s about 6 miles in length and lends itself<br />

well to snow shoeing. Paust LLC offers<br />

cross country skiing on 5 miles of<br />

groomed trails, plus ski rental packages.<br />

The majority of this trail system is open<br />

year round except when they are closed<br />

for approximately the month of April due<br />

to soft & wet trail conditions during the<br />

spring break-up.<br />
