Campbellsport, WI – Break your winter cabin fever by traveling to the Kettle Moraine State Forest – Northern Unit for the annual Candlelight Ski/Hike on the Zillmer Trails, W833 County Road SS, Campbellsport, which is between Hwy 67 and County Road G near New Prospect.
This event will be held on Saturday, February 5, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We encourage people to carpool due to limited parking space.
The Zillmer 1.2-mile brown loop will be lighted by the soft glow of candle luminaries. If there is enough snow, the trail will be groomed for cross-country skiing. This is a perfect trail for the whole family to ski with no sharp curves or steep hills. There will also be plenty of room for hikers to travel through the enchanting candlelit dark winter woods.
Warm up at the roaring campfire or venture into the heated shelter building. To further chase away the chills, enjoy refreshments provided by the Friends of the Kettle Moraine.
A Wisconsin State Park System Vehicle Admission Sticker is required at Zillmer. If you do not already have your 2022 sticker, you may purchase one that night. For Wisconsin state residents, the annual sticker is $28/car or $8/car for a daily sticker.
Please plan to pay with a cash or a check. For more information, contact the Ice Age Visitor Center staff at (920) 533-8322. The center’s winter hours are Wednesday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
