Boulder Junction: A Great Winter Silent-Sports Destination
December 17, 2024
Boulder Junction is a premier Northwoods silent sports destination, and that remains true when the snow flies. Our forest trails offer a world of winter adventure. Boulder Junction is an ideal silent sports getaway spot—we have a perfect mix of trails and Northwoods beauty, as well as the amenities you need, including lodging properties with easy access to the trails.
Cross Country Skiing
Cross-country skiing may be easier than you think! Our winter trails with gentle terrain are perfect places to practice. Here are a few tips to get you started on your cross-country skis.
Snowshoeing
If you find skiing isn’t for you, most people quickly find themselves making snowshoe tracks through our beautiful forests! Though very similar to walking, snowshoes allow you to traverse snowy, woodland terrain for more miles than in boots!
Fat Tire Biking
Biking isn’t just for the warmer months anymore. With wide, knobby tires designed for traction on snow and ice, fat tire biking lets you glide through serene forests, across frozen lakes, and along scenic trails.
Ice Skating
Boulder Junction Winter Park is the perfect place to take the family for an afternoon of skating with a lighted ice rink and the new ice skating ribbon, The Glide. You’ll find skates and other winter equipment for borrow and rentals can be found at Coontail.
Ice Fishing
Boulder Junction is an anglers paradise with over 190 lakes within a 10 mile radius. Grab your ice shack, auger, and tip-up and head out for adventure. The most important part of ice fishing is safety. Check with our local shops, like Northern Highland Sports, for ice and fishing updates, and ALWAYS check the ice yourself before going out.
