Rock Lake As mentioned earlier, Rock Lake is one of the most popular trails in the region. Anyone who is at least minimally familiar with the area knows about Rock Lake, probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing, while athletically satisfying trail systems in the state. Rock Lake is by far one of the most enjoyable places in the area to retreat and escape into winter. Nordic Woods Nordic Woods, about four miles west of Stone Lake,is perhaps one of the nices smaller trail systems in the immediate area. It is entirely wooded and the 10.7 kilometers of trails wind around and between numerous remote wilderness lakes.
Wildlife is plentiful with active beaver trails sometimes cutting across the ski trail.
It is a very beautiful trail through hardwood ridges, scattered older pines, and aspen stands all dotted with pot hole lakes. While the terrain is generally rolling, there are several good sized hills. A short beginners loop is available for a warm up or to practice skills. On the whole it is well suited to intermediate skiers, but thoroughly enjoyable for the more advanced as well. Nordic Woods can be accessed by two trail heads.
