You can come to CNC to walk or run on the trails (the south paved loop trail is plowed in the winter) and your registration provides for free use of CNC snowshoes during our open hours. CNC does not have cross-country ski trails but you can check out other places in your area. Afton State Park, Lake Elmo County Park Reserve, and Willow River State Park in Hudson usually have groomed ski trails but you can go to a location that is convenient for you. Turn this into a social activity with your family and friends for an extra benefit or make it one of your New Year’s Resolutions to get some exercise outdoors while supporting Carpenter Nature Center.
