Snow Depth and Groomed Trail Conditions
Rice Lake State Park
Trail conditions:
No snow on any of the park trails. The trails in the park can still be hiked, but don't expect to be able to use skis or snowshoes. The same is true for all the snowmobile trails that lead to the park from the local GIA systems. We will need to have a significant snowfall before any of the trails open for use.
