Northland Arboretum

The Northland Arboretum cross country trails are rated beginner to moderate. The12+ kilometers of trails are groomed by the Brainerd Nordic Ski Club. The ski club provides 4.5 km of lit trails for evening skiing from 4:30 pm – 10 pm each night. All of the trails are groomed for dual use, both classic and skating.

If you are 16 or older, you must have The Great Minnesota Ski pass to ski on groomed trails in Minnesota state parks, state forests, or on state or Grant-In-Aid trails. Daily passes are available at the Arboretum visitor center. Yearly passes are available wherever DNR permits and licenses are sold. Sign your ski pass and be sure to carry your pass with you every time you go skiing.

Your ski pass fee helps support Minnesota’s cross-country ski trail system.
