For winter fun the Hayward Area has over 200 kilometers of some
of the best cross-country ski trails in the Midwest. Here you
can challenge yourself on the world class Birkebeiner Trail, the
premiere ski trail in North America, or ski at a relaxed pace
on narrow paths close to nature. Our cross-country skiing trails
make skiing a memorable experience.
This is a very special place anytime of the year, but especially
during the winter. The Hayward Area typically receives plenty
of snow and offers numerous trails. Whether you are a casual,
occasional skier, an active enthusiast or an avid racer, Northwest
Wisconsin has something for you. From easy going and intimate
classically groomed trails suitable for the whole family to the
most significant Nordic superhighway in the nation, the American
Birkebeiner Trail, the choices are wonderful.
Snowshoe Trails and Hikes
The soft sound of your snowshoes packing the snow are about all one can hear as you make your way through the woods in the deep snow of our long northwestern Wisconsin winters. We hope you enjoy your snowshoeing experience here in northwest Wisconsin and come back often to explore other parts of the region.
