Canine & Equine Use
We ask that during the winter season when cross country ski trails are being groomed that dog walkers and equestrians do not utilize the trail system because it undermines the grooming efforts. An alternate option for equestrian use is the trail that runs parallel to the rail trail from North Bradley to to Coleman with trailer parking at North Bradley.
Know Before You Go!
At City Forest we are always working to make sure our attractions are up and running but weather isn't always cooperative. Please call our weather app, Rainout Line, at 989-399-0506 or go online to check the conditions of your favorite attractions such as cross country skiing or snowshoeing.
