Department Updates
The next edition of the Recreation Department Program Guide is now available to the
public. A full range of winter activities are available to the public ranging from skating
programs to winter mountain bike races at Hillside Ciry Pazk. To aid pazents in future
activity planning we have also included key spring programs and activities in this guide. The
guide has been mailed to those who have participated in our recreational programs in the
past. The guide is also available at key points throughout Elk River including Lions Park
Centex and Elk River City Hall.
The Elk River Parks and Recreation Department would like to remind the recreating public
that "Winter Trail Rules" are now in effect in Woodland Trails Pazk. Walking and
snowshoeing can be enjoyed on trails designated for those activities. All other trails aze
designated for cross country skiing only. These trails will be groomed for cross country
skiing when conditions permit. The ski trails and walking traIls in Woodlands are maintained
by volunteers in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Department. There are maps at
all trailheads showing which trails are designated for skiing and which aze designated for
non-skiers. The Great Northern Trial, which is groomed between Meadowvale Elementary
and County Road 33 is shared by walkers and skiers. Walkers must use the east side of this
portion of the trail. The Great Northem Trail north of County Road 33 is plowed fox
walking and running. Caution should always be used when walking on plowed trails and
sidewalks in the winter. Icy sections should be expected at any time and depending on the
weather, trail conditions can change quickly. The Parks and Recreation Department
encourages the public to enjoy this great community resource and wish you enjoy your
outdoor experience.
