Unlike downhill skiing, which relies on snow-making equipment for its daily conditions, cross-country skiing is dependent on each winter’s natural snowfall. In snowy winters, the Geneva Lake area is a fantastic place to enjoy this winter workout.
- Big Foot Beach State Park – This state park in Lake Geneva offers 2.9 miles of groomed cross-country ski trails. Bring your own equipment; no rentals available. A state park annual vehicle sticker is required for entry to the park.
- Grand Geneva Resort & Spa – This AAA four-diamond resort maintains five miles of groomed trails on its 1,300- acre property along the White River. A trail pass is required and rentals are available.
- Kettle Moraine Southern Unit, Nordic Trails – In nearby LaGrange, enjoy seven different groomed, cross- country loops ranging from 1-7 miles in length. No rentals available; a state trail pass is required.
