Cross-country Skis

Equipment includes boots, skis and poles in youth and adult sizes. 

Rochester Park & Recreation and Rochester Active Sports Club collaborate to offer a range of trails for everyone to enjoy. Please use the winter sports map to plan your route.

Groomed ski-only trails: Trails on the east side of the park are groomed for cross-country skiing only. All other park users should avoid these trails.

Groomed multi-use trails: All trails in the park except for the ski-only trails are open to all users. 

Nordic Ski Team: The Rochester Nordic Ski Team (students in grades 7-12) practices in the park on Monday and Tuesday from 4-5:30 pm. Trails are open during this time, but be aware that this is a high-traffic time.

Snowshoes

Traditional wood snowshoes, which provide loft in deep snow conditions, are available in limited supply. Hiking-style snowshoes, made of aluminum, are also available in youth and adult sizes.

Typically, snowshoes are best used ‘off-trail’ in ungroomed snow-covered areas of the park.  A groomed multi-use trail is available. Please avoid ski-only trails.
