Crossroads at Big Creek
provides 7 total miles of recreational trails.
SUMMER: The trails are open 24 hours per day and every day of the week. Pets and bicyclists are welcome. In order for the Crossroads experience to be
positive for the greatest number of trail users, we ask our visitors to follow the Trail Etiquette Guidelines posted below. WINTER: In winter 5 miles of trails are maintained
for Nordic skiing with both classic and skate lanes. Yellowstone
grooming equipment is employed by a dedicated volunteer staff to insure
that the trail conditions at the Crossroads are generally superior,
even at times when snow conditions elsewhere are marginal or icy.
Trails are free, but donations are cheerfully accepted in the
contributions box at the trailhead. Two miles of separate hiking trails
are also available for snowshoers. Call 920.746.5895 for further info.

Crossroads' trails were
created and maintained by the volunteer organization, Friends of
Crossroads. The City of Sturgeon Bay, through its Tourism Board,
provided the grooming equipment. Memorials for Chan Harris and Ole
(LeRoy) Olson and a grant from Wal-Mart provided funds for the trails.
Many local businesses and individuals lend equipment, give time and
donate materials to maintain this trail system. You can help by
dropping your contribution in the trailheadpost.
