Snow Depth and Groomed Trail Conditions

The trail(s):
Trails are a mixture of forest, lake shore and grasslands. A variety of wildlife may be observed throughout the park.

You can snowshoe anywhere in Minnesota's state parks and recreation areas, except on groomed cross country ski trails.

* Park snowmobile trails are connected to the Steele County Grant-In-Aid trail system, and are groomed by Steele County Trail Association.

* All other winter trails are non-motorized, multi-use, packed trails, and are open to cross country skiing, hiking, and snowshoeing. There are about 5 miles of multi-use trails.

Facilities:

• The warming shelter, located in the boat launch parking lot is open for the season.
• Ski passes are not required on our packed winter trails because the trails are not groomed for cross country skiing.
• Rental equipment is not available.
• There is no winter camping at Rice Lake. Campgrounds are closed for the season and will reopen in the spring.
