Mic Mac Lake Trail

Mic Mac Lake Trail is a 2.5-mile out-and-back cross-country ski route in Tettegouche State Park in Minnesota, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail rises from about 1,260 feet to a high point of 1,285 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.5 miles in, where the grade reaches 10 percent. The climb is moderate, and the trail is about 1.3 miles long one way. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Wolf Ridge put January highs around 19°F with lows near 1°F, while March runs about 35°F by day and 15°F at night. The station sits about 115 feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run slightly warmer. The trail sits close to several other ski routes. Conservancy Pines Trail and Palisade Valley Trail are each about 0.3 miles away, and Mount Baldy Overlook Loop is about 0.8 miles off. Climbers can find Mystical Mountain Zone about 3.5 miles away.
