Located in Calumet, Michigan, the Swedetown cross country ski trails offer more than 30 km of groomed ski and snowshoe trails. With an average snowfall of more than 250 inches per year, we enjoy a long ski season, usually beginning the first of December and sometimes lasting well into April.

The Swedetown trail system is known for quality grooming and something for every level of skier. For 2007, the trails have been revamped to ensure novice loops with few hills and to enhance the intermediate and advanced skier loops.

  • 30 km beginner to expert trails groomed daily for skating and classic skiing
  • 4.5km of trails lighted until 10 pm
  • Several kilometers of snowshoe trails
  • Beautiful chalet with snack bar and groomed sledding hill
  • Host to the Great Bear Chase ski race--always two weeks after the Birkie.

Groups are always welcome at Swedetown. If you have an out-of-town or other special group larger than 15 planning to use the trails, please contact us at (906) 337-1170, so we can help provide an excellent skiing experience.


The Copper Island Cross Country Ski Club maintains the Swedetown trails
in cooperation with Calumet Township.
