Crossroads at Big Creek provides 7 total miles of recreational
trails.
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.
