Millenium Trail is a 0.6-mile out-and-back cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 1.2 miles from the community of Billings Park. The trail is rated easy, and the climb is nearly flat, with a high point of 652 feet and a low of 644 feet. The whole trip has a total elevation gain and loss of 7 feet each, so it's a short, low-effort outing. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from the nearby Superior, Wisconsin weather station show January highs around 23°F with lows near 6°F, and snow on about seven days that month. Spring and fall bring fewer snow days, with snow mostly gone by April and October. Billings Drive, another cross-country ski route, sits about 1.2 miles away. The Waabizheshikana: the Marten Trail hike is about 3 miles off, and the Stadium and Stadium West ski areas are each about 3.5 miles away.
