Don’t let the snow keep you away from an Oakland County Park. There is plenty to do from: cross country skiing to snowshoeing, hiking and so much more. Does your pooch love to romp around outside in the winter? Several parks have off-leash areas, and trails for on-leash exploring. Bring the whole family and create some wonderful winter memories.
All Oakland County Parks areas (except Groveland Oaks and Lyon Oaks Golf Course) are open for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking. Glen Oaks, Red Oaks, Springfield Oaks, and White Lake Oaks golf courses do not have groomed trails or warming areas, but are open to those with their own equipment when gates are open. Winter hiking is also available on most trails.
