Winter Activities
Winter Activities Overview Print
In addition to recreational activities, experience the natural wonder of Presque Isle during the winter months. Look for the impressive ice dunes, built by the combination of lake ice, wave surge and freezing spray. Take a walk along the beach, and you will likely see animal footprints in the snow. Winter is also a good time to spot the snowy owl.
 
Ice Skating Print
The frozen bay and the Waterworks ponds are ideal sites, but this sport is highly dependent on the weather and ice conditions.
 
Cross Country Skiing Print
Rent skis at Shelter Two at Waterworks or bring your own. Trails are plentiful starting at Shelter Two.
 
Ice Fishing Print

You only need a pole, some bait, and an auger to drill a hole. Experienced ice fishermen usually bring a wind break or tent as well.
 
Wind Skating Print
Fantastic to watch or to do...wind skating involves ice skates and what looks like a big kite...and those who know seem to really enjoy the speed and the rush!
