Iron County Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing

Trudging through the snow can be quite difficult in the Upper Peninsula, that is if you’re only on foot and not taking advantage of some other ways to travel in the the winter time. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing can be a helpful and entertaining way to stay on top of the snow.  Often seen as a sport or form of exercise, snowshoes and skis were once a form of winter transportation before the luxury of snowmobiles and four wheel drive cars & trucks.

Today, there are many options to get out and enjoy these seasonal sports while there is the snow on the ground in Iron County.  Ski Brule and Young’s Golf Recreation Dining both offer equipment rentals and groomed trails to enjoy all season long. 

Ski Brule
Glide along the Brule River and all around the mountain at Ski Brule by cross country ski, snowshoe, or fat tire bike.  The trail system has a variety of difficulty levels for all skill sets.  Be sure to stay up to date on the Ski Brule snow and trail report to help plan your trip. Also, check out their trail map and resort guide.
