Cross Country Skiing on The Farm's Ski Trails
"Thanks for the warm hospitality, great food and well-groomed trails."
-Dave & Joan, Marshfield, WI
The 32k of cross country ski trails on Palmquist Farm will take you through some of Wisconsin's most remote and beautiful forests and back country. You'll ski through maple groves and cedar swamps, up hardwood ridges and into the Tiaga ski trail north of The Farm. Try the 24-hour, lighted ski trail for an after-dinner or before-bed ski.

Our cross country trails are groomed for skate skiing and classical skiing by our state-of-the-art Pisten Bully groomer. Our ski trails are very quiet with low traffic, so you can ski at your own pace. The trails range from beginner to intermediate level in difficulty, which makes them the perfect place to learn cross country skiing for the first time, teach your child, or come back to the sport you used to love. Well-behaved dogs are also welcome on the trails.
Cross country skiing has been a part of The Farm's history for many generations. Visit our Ski History page for more on Palmquist Farm's heritage.
Cross Country Ski Rental at The Farm
We offer ski rental, so don't let a lack of equipment stop you from enjoying our ski trails. We also rent Finnish pulks, small lightweight sleds that adults can harness around their waists to pull small children on the ski trails. See our rates page for current rental rates.
