Lake Marie is a cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 9 miles from the town of Hazelhurst. The trail is a short out-and-back, roughly 0.4 miles long, with a total climb of about 21 feet. The route is rated moderate, and the elevation gain is minimal, so the walk is more about the setting than the climb. Winter is the natural season for this kind of outing. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 20°F with lows near 2°F and about seven snow days. Snow days drop to zero from May through September, when the station records highs in the 60s and 70s. The route is short enough to fit into a day of exploring the area. For more time on the snow, look to other trails in the region.
