Snow is very nice up north. Hayward had just received a few inches so the groomers were out. Had wonderful trails to classic and skate ski upon. All of these systems were wooded and dotted with lakes, ponds and creeks. Really enjoyed skiing this area and plan to go back again as there are many more trails to discover.
Did the following trails.
Hospital Trail System Notes: Just outside of Hayward 1 mile east on Hwy 77. Parking 1/2 on left on Hospital Road. (maps don't show this) Good maps on trails.
Difficulty: Easy, double tracks for nordic only.
Fish Hatchery Notes: 3 miles east of Hayward. Nice warming house. Lighted at night. No maps on trails, but pretty easy to follow.
Difficulty: Easy to Intermediate classic and skate skiing.
