As we wrap up another wonderful winter season, thank you to everyone who joined us for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. We were fortunate to have great snow, and it showed—our open houses were well attended, and the trails were in fantastic condition all season long. It was a joy to see so many people out enjoying the beauty of winter together.

A special thank you goes to our dedicated groomers, our warming house crew, and all who work behind the scenes to make these experiences possible. And of course, thank you to everyone who embraces the outdoors and helps create such a welcoming community. While we’re already looking forward to next winter’s snow, we hope you’ll continue the adventure with us—join us on the trails this summer!

Each fall, the Itascatur Outdoor Activities Club hosts the Headwaters 100 Bike Event—a signature event in Park Rapids that you won’t want to miss! Registration is easy and available at BikeReg.com. Check our website for all the details.

Widely regarded as one of Minnesota's top one-day bike tours, the Headwaters 100 offers riders a choice of three routes: 45, 75, and 100 miles. Pedal through some of the state's most breathtaking landscapes, including the famed Itasca State Park, home of the Mississippi River’s headwaters.
