This is an affordable and family friendly ski area with a couple of lifts, a t-bar, and a tubing hill. There are some surprisingly steep runs and a decent set of jumps. It is especially nice to visit when looking for something close to town or when the visibility is too poor to make it any farther than 10 miles in the winter blizzards.

This place is groomed for classic skiing, so sadly there is no skate skiing but it is quite scenic and peaceful near the creek. In the summer months these mountain bike trails are less busy. Seek out the flow trail that is one of the connecting trails between the two areas. Additional Parking is at Churning Rapids trailhead at Christenson Road off of M-203 about half way between Hancock and McLain's state Park.

Epic Midwest Mountain Biking
This place comes alive in the summer months with the dedicated trail crew that makes these well maintained trails a hidden mecca for mountain bike enthusiasts. Stairway to Heaven and the Point Trail phase III are a couple of my favorite runs! Shuttle buses available for those who just want to cruise downhill and avoid the climbs. Rentals and knowledgeable staff at this shop. Kayak tours available as well.

This is the closest state park with access to Lake Superior. There is a breakwall, lighthouse, campground, cabins, and concession stand during the summer. In the winter you can snowshoe or boot in to see the frozen wave landscape and blinding ice, which feels a bit otherworldly.

Only attempt to eat here if you have plenty of time and want a relaxed pace of service during the busier MTU weekends. Enjoy the dining experience, views of the canal and don't be in such a rush....
