Trail Detail
Notes
With trails from beginners to expert and a very modern, heated trail center, Wild River State Park is one of the hidden gems for cross-country skiing in eastern Minnesota. The Aspen Knob loop is extremely challenging.Trail Reports

I skied portions of the trail that had not been packed as well as a few sections that have been packed. There is not enough snow for tracks yet. Conditions were fair to poor, and best on the portion with the paved bike trail underneath, if you're willing to put up with short pole plants. The ridges on the roller are about the right width to use as makeshift tracks. The unpacked snow was decent, except for portions underneath pine trees or other heavily wooded areas. I hit a few rocks on the horse trail portion on my way to the Mitigwaki Trail. Hoping for more snow in the next couple days, which should improve conditions. Either way, it was nice to be out earlier in the season.
