Promoting recreational access and active, healthy lifestyles for the whole community.
Located just off of Highway 8, Northwood trails are a complete recreational system for both classic and skate techniques. With over 15 kilometers, Northwood trails begin at Northwood Golf course, but they quickly move off the course into a pristine forest setting.
While skiing Nothwood trails, enjoy the local landmarks long the way Ring Wayne's Bell at the top of Shutes - n - Ladders. Then ski Cook's Run to Judy's Bench and enjoy the view of the Heal Creek lowlands.

Located off of South Shore Drive, the CAVOC trail system offers a specialty experience for skiers looking for high-energy course. A unique system in many ways -- there's a fully homolgulated 20-30' wide 5.3km loop that is certified for NCAA events and the rolling terrain that Birkie and Kortie skiers love.
The CAVOC Trails also play host to the Hodag Challenge in January along with several college (NCAA and USCSA) events. Come ski CAVOC and say that you climbed Two-Minute Hill and survived Stoney Drop!
We've created a new map for the CAVOC trails that illustrates the easy, moderate and difficult trails. Now you can find your way around several of the loops for all levels of cross country skiers.

These trails are perfect for new and young skiers or for people who want to get in a quick ski without leaving town.
Groomed for both skate and classic, these trails put Nordic skiing at your backdoor. The Rhinelander Community Trails also serve as the location for the annual Candlelight Ski.
