Larson Lakes has miles of trails through thick forests, a shelter, and holds snow later in the season than any other groomed course in the area.

Wolf Lake Trails
This trail system offers 9 km of beginner through expert trails with good signage for each. Skate ski through old-growth pine or classic ski along a ridge overlooking marshland or glacial kettles. Some trails are single tracked while others are double. Located south and west of Crosby/Ironton on Nelson Road, these trails are maintained and groomed as part of the Crow Wing County Park System.
Snowmobiling
Winter outdoor enthusiasts will find miles of snowmobile trails which connect to miles of trails in northern Minnesota. In addition to the superb snowmobile trail system, some trails double as non-winter ATV trails. The Sno-Serpents Snowmobile Club takes great pride in making sure riders have the best-groomed trails in the state. Their volunteers groom 83 miles through beautiful, scenic Crow Wing County.
