LaPorte County Parks for Cross Country Skiing
You’re welcome to enjoy cross-country skiing across all LaPorte County parks, celebrating the rich natural heritage and ecological diversity of Northern Indiana.
Each of the four parks boasts trail systems perfect for accommodating cross-country skiing enthusiasts. While the trails aren’t groomed, they provide ample space for you to forge your own path. Luhr Park caters to beginners with its flat terrain, while Bluhm Park offers slightly more challenging, hilly terrain, making it an excellent choice for intermediate skiers.
