The Gartzke Flowage trails were groomed. The trail is in excellent condition. The snowshoe trails are in good condition for winter hiking/snowshoeing.

Please note that the ice on Gartzke Flowage is NEVER safe to walk on due to naturally occurring springs and strong currents.

Trail update as of February 17, 2025

The Cross-Country Ski Trails were groomed with tracks. The trails are in good condition.

In addition to the ski trails, the newly added Jack-a-Lope Slope sledding hill and the Jack Lake snowshoe trails will also be open for public enjoyment.

Skiers 18 years and older must have an annual permit issued by the Langlade County Forestry, Parks, and Recreation Department or a daily use permit available at the onsite self-service payment box or a yearly pass. Daily cross-country ski user fee of $10 a day for adults 18 years and older. Children under 18 years of age are free. Annual passes will also be available for $30.00 per year for adults at the Forestry, Parks, and Recreation Office at 1633 Neva Road, Antigo, Wisconsin, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Annual passes will be valid from the official opening of the ski trail until November 31 of each year. A new yearly pass will be required after November 31st of each year.

The Jack Lake Fat Tire Trails were packed with snowmobiles for winter fat biking. The trail is in good condition and will be groomed again before the weekend. If the trail feels soft or tires begin to break through, reducing air pressure is recommended for better traction.

The one-mile snowshoe loop is located at the north end of the parking area. Please do not snowshoe on the groomed cross-country ski trail.  The cross-country ski trail does allow skijoring and winter fat biking.  Additional winter fat biking and snowshoeing opportunities are available a half miles down the road at Veteran's Memorial Park. The mile snowshoe trail and Jackalope Slope Sledding Hill do not have a user fee.

Trail update as of February 17, 2025

The Maranatha Cross-Country Ski Trail is groomed and tracked. The trail is in good condition for classical skiing with a 12' base.

The signage on the trails is put up as an old trail was brought back online after the July 19, 2019, storm cleanup, so try out Derecho Lane (formally Widow Maker). 

Moccasin Lake Recreation Area Cross-Country Ski Trail

Trail update as of February 17, 2025

The Moccasin Cross Country Ski Trail was dragged yesterday and again today before being tracked. It is in excellent condition for both classical and skate skiing, with a firm surface.

The snowshoe trail was also dragged yesterday afternoon, widening the path for side-by-side use.

The Luge remains in good shape, though only about half has been tracked. We’re waiting for additional snowfall to better cover rocks before setting tracks throughout the entire route.

Skijoring is allowed on the ski trail. Winter fat biking is permitted on the snowshoe trail but not the ski trail. Winter fat biking is also allowed (not on the ski trail). 

No trail pass is required.
