Main Street

Main Street is a cross-country skiing route in Minnesota, about half a mile from the State Department of Natural Resources, which manages the land. It's a short out-and-back with a high point of 1,432 feet and a low of 1,318 feet, giving a round-trip climb of about 250 feet. The steepest stretch comes near the start, with a grade of about 9%, and the total length is just under a mile. Winter is the season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 19°F with lows near -1°F, while March runs about 39°F by day and 15°F at night. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the higher ground run slightly cooler. Several other cross-country ski routes lie close by, including Black Widow and Mag View, each about 0.1 mile away. For an overnight stay, Pokegama Dam Campground is about 6.5 miles off.
