Snow Depth and Groomed Trail Conditions
Split Rock Lighthouse State Park
Trail conditions:
Trails were groomed 03/24 and are in good condition. Packed trails may be icy, please use caution when hiking and wear a pair of traction devices if you have them. While we do set track for classical skiing, the trails here are multi-use and also accommodate skate skiing, biking, hiking, snowshoeing, and skijoring. Stop by the office to rent a pair of snowshoes for $6 a day. We hope to see you on the trails!
The trail(s):
8.2 miles of groomed multi-use trails. Part of the trail travels along the shoreline of Lake Superior and offers many lake vistas. The terrain is hilly, with a birch and aspen forest. 12 miles of ungroomed trail for hiking.
You can snowshoe anywhere in Minnesota's state parks and recreation areas, except on trails that are specifically groomed for another activity, such as skiing or snowmobiling.
Facilities:
- Restrooms are available at the Trail Center.
- Not Required
- $6 a day for a pair of snowshoes.
- Winter camping is available at the cart-in campground and backpack-in sites. All winter camping sites are ski-in or snowshoe-in. Park in the Pebble Beach lot; the main campground parking area is not plowed in the winter.
