Visitors can bring their cross country skis and/or snowshoes to ski or walk a lighted groomed trail through the Ludington State Park's snow-covered forested sand dunes. The trail starts from the Warming Shelter. Bring a flashlight or headlamp! You can borrow one of the park's 60 snowshoes, but there are no cross country skis to loan out. No reservations are needed. The park also offers winter camping and heated mini cabins are available for rent.
Tired of skiing or just want to try something different? Come out to experience for yourself the fun and benefit of walking in snowshoes! Your guide will teach you how easy it is to put on and use this winter-friendly footwear. Snowshoeing can burn up to 750 calories in one hour of moderate walking! It's also one of the safest winter activities around and can be enjoyed by anyone at any age.
