October – February

As the sun sets earlier in the fall and winter evenings, the stars begin to brighten and once a month one of our trails will light up with the magical glow of candlelight luminaries! Join us for an evening hike by candlelight to see Crossroads from a new, nighttime perspective.

In February, this event helps launch Destination Sturgeon Bay’s Fire & Ice Weekend with a luminary hike, bonfire, and hot beverages.

Some Saturdays 9:30am - 3:30pm & Sundays 12:30pm - 3:00pm

Crossroads at Big Creek has cross-country skis, boots, poles and snowshoes in all sizes as well as kicksleds for families, groups and individuals when there is snow and the trails are in good condition. Our volunteers will help fit you with the proper equipment. We have miles of groomed trails to explore at no charge! No reservations needed.

Check our Events Calendar and the ticker at the top of our website for trail conditions, Ski-for-Free hours, and other updates.

To keep our groomed trails in good shape, walkers and snowshoers should stay to the side of all groomed ski trails. Skiers who have their own equipment might like to park at our Astronomy Center at 2200 Utah Street for access to less-traveled trails.
