Trails are not groomed in winter.
Winter is a beautiful time to enjoy the Reserve. Our site and trails are well-suited for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding, and more!
Trail Report
February 2, 2026
We currently have a snow base of 18 inches on all trails with some drifting snow. Trails are great for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing; our hills are ready for sledders.
Sledding
The hill below the Farmhouse (Visitor Center) is known by locals as one of the best sledding hills in the area. Come on over and see for yourself. The Laudholm Connector off the Knight Trail offers a steeper plunge!
Cross-Country Skiing & Snowshoeing
Our trails are great for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, depending on snow conditions. Trails are not groomed. Bring your own equipment and enjoy! (No rentals.)
Winter Walks
We offer guided walks throughout the winter season as well as periodic wildlife tracking workshops and more. Visit our program calendar to learn more.
