Prairie Springs Cross Country Ski Trails - Prairie's Edge Nature Center - Cresco

Skiing is very good in areas and fair in others. Bike Trail, Campground Road, Campground Trail and Campground are very good. The Meadow Loop is good and Minears Field (except for one stretch of 10-20 yards which can be double poled) are good. The Hill Trail is fair on the uphill and good on the flat stretch. The Dry Creek Trail is fair.

I will be going out to roll the River Trail and River Loop, and the Nature Center Trail shortly, but I don't expect either of these areas to be very good because of terrain and/or wind exposure.

See photos for more info. If you are going to ski these trails, better do it before Friday afternoon as it is supposed to get near 40 degrees and some stretches will melt and expose bare ground.
