Mount Blue State Park Conditions & Activities

Park & Trail Conditions

February 17, 2025 | The recent snow has helped significantly with our trails. The park's snowmobile trails are now open, and the snowshoe trails are also in good condition. The ski trails are likewise open, and once we have finished with cleanup from the recent storm, we will be working to get track set. The ice rink has been cleared but the wind and resulting blowing and drifting snow have created less-than-ideal skating conditions. Once the wind dies down, we will clear the rink again and ready it for skaters.
