Cross Country Skiing along the South Shore

Cross Country Skiing along the South Shore

 

Once the trails in Northwest Indiana are blanketed by a few inches of snow, it’s the perfect occasion to layer up and immerse yourself in the stunning winter scenery of the Midwest through cross-country skiing or snowshoeing! Stay active this season by exploring the snow-covered landscapes across the South Shore region.

Need to rent skis? Cross-country ski rentals are available during favorable conditions at Oak Ridge Prairie in Griffith and at Stoney Run County Park in Hebron.
