Winter Activites

The activities in the winter do change quite a bit in the winter. You do have to like the outdoors more in the winter and be capable of standing the cold elements. The biggest thing we do in the winter is ice fish here on Blackduck lake which is the 2nd busiest lake in the winter in Beltrami county. We have solid wood ice houses so we do get spoiled when it comes to staying warm, since they do keep you warmer then portables. We do a lot of sledding on our resort hill as well. The hill we have is not really big, but it does just fine for someone like me who likes going down but not walking back up. There is a tubing and ski area close to our resort and we usually go there a few times a year which is fun.

The ice skating here is a fun activity as well but i do not do this, this is for the younger kids since the ice really hurts when you fall. I do like to go on hikes in the snow since the snow really makes the woods so quite. Sometimes you do need snowshoes but usually i will go on a trail that is traveled somewhat so it is easier.
