Looking for places to ski or snowshoe? Some great flat beginner trails are located on Frame Lake and Back Bay, usually from late December to March! The trails at Fred Henne are usually available from November to April. Remember all these dates are weather dependent, always check the Ice Thickness table and double check when it was last updated! Quick tip from the locals:Being on the lake means the wind can nip at you, so make sure you’re dressed properly for the weather.
