LAKE WISSOTA STATE PARK - FEBRUARY 8TH
BRUNET ISLAND STATE PARK - FEBRUARY 15TH
You have two opportunities for candlelight skiing and snowshoeing.
Lake Wissota is having its event from 5:30-8 p.m. on February 8th. The event takes place near the southern end of the park by the boat landing parking. Look for the shelter where they are holding the event.
Brunet Island State Park is having its event on February 15th. This event takes place at the pavilion by the beach. It begins with a sledding event from 3-5 p.m. on the beach hill. Then from 5-7 p.m. they will be having the candlelight ski and snowshoe.
The route starts at the pavilion and goes along the high shoreline all the way to the North Campground. It loops through the campground and then picks up the Timber Trail. This takes you back toward the beach. You cross the ball field and then head past the beach to reach the pavilion.
The fire is stoked in both of the stone fireplaces, and hot refreshments and beverages are waiting to warm you up. Cross-country skis and snowshoes are available for free use if you don't have your own. This is a great event. The trail is groomed and lit by luminary candles.
