Candlelight Ski/Snowshoe/Hike

About

Six miles of winter trails will be illuminated by candles to
guide you through an annual winter tradition at Wild River! Skiers, walkers and
snowshoers are welcome to take to the trails. The trail center and visitor
center are good places to warm up. Marvel at an enormous bonfire and
participate in activities throughout the park. James Everest, the
artist-in-residence at Wild River, is offering a sound garden outside the
visitor center. There's live music inside. Find refreshments at the trail
center and visitor center. View celestial objects through a telescope near the
large bonfire.

Event canceled if windchill is below -15F. Trails are packed
for this event, so snowshoeing is welcome but not necessary. Low or no snow may
not allow for skiing, but we will use battery candles for a walking trail.

Vehicles must display a $7 one-day/$35 year-round permit.
Skiers (16 and older) need a $10 one-day/$25 one-year ski pass, which is valid
at 90 MN destinations. Permits available at the ranger station, but save time
at this busy event and buy one online ahead of time. Click here to buy a

Thanks to Friends of Wild River State Park for their help
with event coordination.
