Winter Fun

Snowy Scene

St. Ignace is one of the Midwest's top winter destinations.  Snow quietly blankets our region beginning in November, offering the soft, white world of winter fun to young and old alike.  The finest cross-country skiing can be found just minutes away at the Sand Dune Trails of the Hiawatha National Forest.  Skiers can choose long or short routes for a quick tour or an all-day adventure.  Our local ice arena hosts skaters from all over the Midwest for exhibition matches, tournaments, open skating and ice shows from October through March.  Snowboarding, skiing, and tubing down the local slopes are found at Silver Mountain Hill on the west side of town.  The return tow-rope for tubers makes it all fun and no work!  Concessions are available to keep the whole family happy.  Groomed snowmobile trails lead from town to sleeping forests and fields, crystalline shores, and frozen waters.  The trails are maintained by our local snowmobile club and kept in toptop condition.  Our new trail-locator-system in Mackinac County adds a layer of safety for all users.  Winter events make St. Ignace your choice for special winter activities, unique challenges in the cold outdoors.  Local lodgers offer hospitality to all winter travelers with all the amenities for your getaway.
