Fat Tire Biking 

Try gaining a little more speed by exploring the miles of winter biking available at Standing Rocks Park. Never been? Standing Rocks Park offers fat tire biking trails for all skill levels year-round. While there, check out the beautiful Behnke Olson Outdoor Recreation Center (BOORC) when conditions exist.

Sledding

Grab the family and bundle up for some winter fun at Iverson Park. Bring a sled and enjoy the sledding hills, with one specifically for young children. Or, try snowshoeing along the Plover River as it winds through the park. The park also has a lighted ice-skating rink and warming house.
