Cross Country Ski Trails Conditions

All ski trailheads have automated paystations where you may purchase a daily or annual permit with a credit card. The machine will provide a paper permit for a daily pass and a paper receipt for the individual and family pass that is redeemable in the park office or by mail. If you have any questions with the machine, give us a call at 920-448-6242. Enjoy the convenience!

Do not walk or snowshoe on the trails when snow covered. Our groomers put their heart and soul into the trail system for a few short months, and walking on them can destroy the trail for a long time. Thank you from your BC Park Rangers.

Barkhausen - 2/6/2026 - OPEN - POOR
We received 1-2" fluffy snow this morning. Tracks were set on most of the trail system, they turned out a little thin in spots but pretty decent in other areas. Tracks were not set in areas that had very thin base and along the Lineville Road section. Good snow coverage besides a few areas with conifers.

Barkhausen - 1/30/2026 - OPEN - POOR
Trails were touched up today. No tracks are set due to low snow, but the trails are level and can be skated or classic skiied on until more snow arrives. Use caution as there are still some icy/slippery/thin sections of trail. The trail along Lineville road is very thin so use caution.

Reforestation Camp - 1/30/2026 - OPEN- POOR, Good Skating conditions
Park staff groomed two passes on skate lanes across all trails. No classic tracks are set at this time. The warmer temps today have allowed the pistenbully groomer break up previously hard-packed snow. The skate deck has roughly 1" loose topcoat on top of the firm snow base. Trails are currently making for great skating. There is some debris present throughout the trail system. The Oaks swamp canopy section is fairly thin with one small section showing some dirt through the snow. You may notice additional trails and loops being groomed in the next few weeks as we prepare for the Ale on the Trail event on Feb. 7th.

Snow Bike Trails

Reforestation Camp - 1/29/2026 - OPEN
Park staff made a pass on single track with v-plow groomer which minimized ruts with variying success. Double track was groomed with our tidd tech groomer. The base is firm, thin, and difficult to rework. Bare spots are minimal and include one near the trailhead and another on the blue loop. No icy spots were observed while grooming. Cold temps will keep the base around, Park Staff will do their best to keep maintaining whats there.
