Two people hiking in Minnesota In Winter.

Minnesota is a great place to visit throughout the year, but it especially shines in the winter. With a fresh coat of snow and cooler temperatures, you’ll be introduced to several unique and fun activities you can’t do any other time of the year. If something like skiing, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing interests you, consider booking directly with Twin Springs Resort this winter before the snow melts in Minnesota.

Best Things To Do During A Minnesota Winter

Minnesota is a winter wonderland, and you’ll soon see why when you visit. Before you arrive here are some of the best things you can do during a Minnesota winter.

Make Trails On A Snowmobile

Because of the amount of snow that Minnesota sees during the winter, it is the perfect place for snowmobiling. In the area, you will find plenty of groomed snowmobile trails and plenty of others exploring the landscape as well. One of the most popular trails open for snowmobiling is the Heartland State Trail, a 49-mile multiple-use trail between Park Rapids and Cass Lake.

Hike Through The Snow

If you want to explore the area at a slower pace, you can traverse the trails by strapping some snowshoes to your feet. Areas that are ideal for snowshoeing are the Heartland State Trail, the Goose Lake Hunter Walking Trail, and the Shingobee Recreation Area.

Ski The Area

One more popular activity is cross-country skiing. For the most part, you can cross-country ski along the same trails you would for snowshoeing, but cross-country skiing offers unique thrills when exploring the state’s wilderness.

These are some of the most popular activities when winter arrives in Minnesota, but there are plenty more things to do when you book directly with Twin Springs Resort.
