Cross Country Skiing
What makes a perfect day for a x-skier? The answer would likely include cross country skiing all day on beautiful trails and then cozying up to a fire in a warm, comfortable cabin. Cross county skiers can do exactly that during a winter vacation at Wildwood Resort! Both classic and freestyle skiing is available here as well as snowshoeing. There are 19 groomed, x-ski trails in Itasca County (some are lighted) totaling more than 200K of trails. They range from beginner to expert and Wildwood is centrally located to all of them. Do you have questions? Please contact us and we will be happy to answer them.
Visit the local Northern Lights Nordic Ski Club website which has up-to-date x-ski trail reports and trail maps!

Snowmobiling
A winter stay at Wildwood Resort allows you to experience some of the best snowmobiling in Minnesota where the varying terrain makes for exciting snowmobile trail riding and spectacular scenery. Wildwood is located in the heart of prime Minnesota snowmobile trail country 4 hours north of the Twin Cities. Our central location in Itasca County near Grand Rapids, MN makes the resort an ideal hub to snowmobile by day and relax in warm, cozy cabins at night. Don’t have sleds? That’s ok because local snowmobile rentals are available from R & R Rental. (Be sure you select their “Grand Rapids” location)
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing is a great and easy way to experience Minnesota’s pristine Northwoods and winter landscapes. Did you know that snowshoeing can burn over 1000 calories per hour? It also provides great aerobic conditioning and is a fun way to spend quality time with family and friends. With today’s short lightweight snowshoes, any walker can enjoy winter hiking trails just by putting one foot in front of the other.
