Cross Country Skiing
Few activities showcase the beauty of northern Michigan quite like cross country skiing. Shanty Creek’s 25km of groomed, track-set trails crisscross the four villages of the resort to create a “village-to-village” experience whose benefits include staying warm in winter, a heart-healthy cardio workout, and a beautiful setting.
Snowshoeing
Forge Your Own Trail
Slip ‘em on and start walking. That’s all there is to it. Forge your own trail (the trail less traveled is the one you make!), or head over to the groomed 3km multi-purpose trail at Schuss Village.
