Cross Country Skiing
Enjoy cross-country skiing and sledding at Hammond's Lost Marsh Golf Course every day of the week (if there are 2"-3" of snow on the ground and weather conditions permitting). Bring your own equipment, check in at the Club House and have fun!
Cross-country ski rentals are available at Lemon Lake County Park in Crown Point, Stoney Run in Leroy and Oak Ridge Prairie in Griffith.
Bring your own cross-country skis to enjoy Sunset Hill Farm and Forest Park Golf Course in Valparaiso.
The best place at the Indiana Dunes National Park to go cross-country skiing is the Ly-co-ki-we Trail. The 6.4 mile trail is a series of interconnecting loops through gently rolling wooded dunes. There's also snowshoeing and cross-country skiing available at Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton.
