Winter Wonderland

So, it's snowing and chilly here in North Central Ohio today. Not the best weather for cycling. But that doesn't mean foregoing the outdoors. For the time being, best to put away the bike and grab the cross country skis or snow shoes and explore our scenic winter wonderland.

Here are some great spots for cross country skiing along the Back Roads and Beaches Multi sport route.

Findley State Park. Great scenic trails through the forest and around Findley Lake.

Lorain County Metro Parks. Lorain County's system of parks has many spots great for cross country skiing or snow shoeing. And don't forget the sledding hill at Vermilion River reservation . The new Lakeview Park bath house facility in Lorain offers spectacular views of Lake Erie's winter landscape.

Winter is a great time to get breathtaking views of Lake Erie. So bundle up and get out there! There's so much to see and do! And when you're done outside, warm up inside at one of our local wineries, shops or art galleries.
