All unplowed roads and trails are open to cross country skiing and showshoeing. When skiing on unplowed roadways used by snowmobiles, keep to the right to avoid accidents. Be prepared for any situation. Carefully read all backcountry guidelines and regulations, and know the limit of your ability. Most trails are marked with orange metal markers attached to trees.
Few streams have bridges.
Parties venturing into the backcountry should carry a USGS topographic map and a compass and know how to use them. Only skiers thoroughly familiar with the area should attempt off-trail travel. When planning your trip, get specific information on conditions from rangers at a ranger station or visitor center. Skiers and snowshoers who live at lower elevations should take a short day or overnight trip to test their capabilities before attempting longer outings. A Backcountry Use Permit is required for all overnight ski trips.
