Cross-Country Skiing & Snowshoeing

Long-time cross-country skiers will find miles of trails filled with challenging ascents and thrilling descents. Most of all, they’ll find a breathtaking view around every bend in the trail. If you’re new to the sport, you’ll find expert instruction, quality rental equipment, and a fun way to stay fit and enjoy the great outdoors.

Anyone who loves the great outdoors is sure to love the snowshoe trails that winds through the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. On of the trails, Bay View, is just steps from the resort’s Village. There are also several other trails just a short drive away. For a map and more information, visit the Front Desk.

Ice Skating

There’s no simpler pleasure, and no better way to celebrate the winter, than strapping on some ice skates and gliding around a frozen pond. Ours is professionally maintained, and free to use. If you don’t have skates, they can be rented for a small fee from Mountain Flowers. Once you’re done, a hot chocolate or a warm meal are just steps away. Please contact Mountain Flowers at 231.334.5170 to enquire about equipment availability and pricing.
