Trail Descriptions: The River Road Cross-country Ski Trail is located along the Chippewa River. Two separate trails challenge intermediate and advanced skiers through rolling terrain and along the more-gentle grade of the River Road to the parking area. Beginning skiers will find the River Road itself to be a good place to practice their strides.

Blue Trail: The Blue Trail is the longer of the two trails. It winds through some of the more challenging terrain with steeper downhill and uphill grades. This trail is most appropriate for advanced skiers. The trail is 4 km from the parking area to the return and the parking area.

Yellow Trail: The Yellow Trail is 2.4 km. The skier will encounter more gentle slopes. The trail is still difficult enough to classed as an intermediate trail as there are some steeper grades.
