It’s winter in Minnesota, a perfect time to head outside! The Winter Recreation Area at Elm Creek Park Reserve features a lighted tubing hill with lifts and snowmaking, a beginner-level downhill ski and snowboard hill, and almost 18 km of cross-country ski trails.
After the action, winter sports enthusiasts can warm their toes and grab a hot cocoa at the Chalet. A blend of modern and rustic, the Chalet provides equipment rental, concessions, public seating and a fireplace. In the summer, hikers, bikers and others use the Chalet as a stopping point before hitting the trails. The Chalet is also a popular spot for weddings and corporate events.
