The trails are either blacktop or crushed limestone and most are wheelchair accessible during summer months. To preserve the natural habitat, no pets, bikes or rollerblades are allowed.
Walking/Ski TrailsWood Lake has over two miles of crushed limestone walking trails, floating boardwalk, and groomed cross-country ski trails (weather-permitting). See Wood Lake’s trail map for distances and more information. The trails wind through three different habitats: cattail marsh, mixed lowland forest, and restored prairie.
