Timm's Hill Trail is a short, flat cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 4 miles from the town of Rib Lake. The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly 0.4 miles, with a high point of 1,714 feet and a low of 1,694 feet. The climb is nearly flat, and the total elevation gain and loss are each about 22 feet, so the route is best described as a gentle rise and fall rather than a climb. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 21°F with lows near 0°F, while February is slightly milder at about 27°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the hill run a little cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by. The Beginner Loop is about 0.2 miles away, and the Nordic Trail and Die Promenade Trail are each within a mile. The Ice Age Trail is about 1.2 miles off.
