Owls Run

Owls Run is a cross-country ski route in Minnesota, about 3.5 miles from Elbow Lake Village. The trail is short, with a round-trip distance of about 0.24 miles and a total climb of about 14 feet, so it's a quick outing rather than a long one. The route is flat, with the high point at about 1,565 feet and the low at about 1,539 feet. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 18°F with lows near -4°F, while March runs warmer, with highs around 37°F. The station sits at a similar elevation to the trail, so these figures are a fair guide to conditions on the snow. Several other ski routes lie within a short distance. Cougars Run, Wolf Run and Bucks Run are each about 0.1 mile away, and Brush Cat Trail is about 0.1 mile off.
