Winter Nordic Trails

NorthWoods offers over 20km of family-friendly nordic and snowshoe trails during the winter season. Bring your own skis or snowshoes, sign in at our self-serve kiosk, pick up a map and head out to enjoy! Once the snowpack is sufficiently built up for grooming please check our Trails page or TrailHub for the latest trail conditions as well as information about the Dashney Nordic Center at Burke Mountain and the Willoughby State Forest Nordic Trails.

All trails are dog-friendly, please clean up after your pet and remember to keep off the groomed area when using the trails without snowhoes or skis.

Residents of Charleston, Brighton and Morgan have free use of our NorthWoods trails year round, but donations are appreciated from all visitors to help support the access and upkeep of our trails.

Check Trail Hub for the latest on grooming and trail conditions or email us at ski@northwoodscenter.org with any questions!
