Rabbits Trail is a cross-country ski route in Minnesota, about 3.3 miles from Elbow Lake Village. It is a short out-and-back, roughly 0.44 miles long, with a steady climb of about 12 feet from a low point of 1,542 feet to a high of 1,554 feet. The trail is rated moderate. 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. That station sits at nearly the same elevation as the trail, so its figures are a fair guide to conditions on the route. Several other ski routes lie close by. Cougars Run, Hawks Trail and Hawks Run are each about 0.1 mile away, and Owls Run is about 0.2 mile off.
