This Brainerd Lakes resort village celebrates with horse-drawn sleigh rides, an ice slide, snow golf, bonfires and kids' ice fishing.
At the Quad Cities Expo Center, there's an environmental fair, with flying demonstrations by eagles, hawks and owls and hourlong eagle-watching tours.
Visit the Kickapoo Valley Reserve for horse-drawn bobsled rides, guided snowshoe and ice-cave hikes, winter games, fat-tire bike demos and a sled-dog race and weight pull.
This weekend, snowmobilers don't need a registration or trail permit to use thousands of miles of trails in the Upper Peninsula or in Lower Michigan.
There are ice-climbing and winter camping clinics, a chili cook-off, door prizes and use of demo gear in Sandstone Ice Park.
There's nothing better than skiing (or snowshoeing or hiking) through a twinkling forest or across a luminary-lined lake. There's usually a bonfire and hot chocolate to enjoy afterward.
Admission is free at Historical Society sites open in winter, including the Minnesota History Center, James J. Hill House and Historic Fort Snelling in St. Paul, Mill City Museum in Minneapolis, Forest History Center in Grand Rapids and Split Rock Lighthouse on the North Shore.
