February 3, 2021January 31, 2021January 30, 2021Well packed snow for walking. Conditions good (not too slippery). We did not see trail marker F, so it may be down. Pretty view of river and ice fishing huts. Good for walking, skiing snowshoeing
January 24, 2021Nice easy trail for cross country skiing. Good snow coverage. Pretty flat. No crazy down hill. Nice view of the river.
January 23, 2021Beautiful loop. It took about 1 hour. This app says dogs on leash are allowed but the signs at the trail say no dogs Dec-April. Heavily used by cross country skiers. Well worth it to try this one out... we loved it.
