Ski Trail Conditions
1/17/24: Due to a thin snow base, trails are not currently groomed. We need more snow to run our equipment and smooth out the rough areas. The trails are OPEN for skiing and snowshoeing and the lights are ON at the Lighted Trail for night use. You may classic ski in the track that is being set by skiers; there is not a skate deck at this time. Snowshoe off to the side away from the ski track. Enjoy what we have and Think Snow!

Mountain Bike Conditions
1/17/24: We have snow and trails are open for Fat Biking. Only fat bikes with 3.8″ or larger tires and very low air pressure at this time. Mountain Bike tires will struggle and leave ruts. There’s no grooming at this time, but a trail is improving with riding and snowshoeing. Snowshoes are allowed on the singletrack (yield to bikes); please do not hike them without snowshoes as it will damage the conditions. Grooming is planned this weekend on the green loops.

Ski
If you are looking for a XC Ski Trail that offers everything, look no further than Timberland Hills (30km) and Timberland West (2.5km)! From gentle rolling terrain to the screaming hills of “The Ridge Run” and the “Outer Loop”, Timberland Hills offers fun and excitement for the beginning skier to the expert. Trails are groomed for both classic and skating techniques, and also offer groomed options for snowshoeing, skijoring, and fat biking.
Bike
We are excited to introduce our new singletrack mountain bike trail system powered by One Track Mind. Construction began in 2023 with about 13 miles completed. With 25 miles planned, we expect to construct more incredible trails in 2024 and 2025. The trails are now open effective 7/1/24! If the gates are closed, please stay off as the trails are too soft. Check current conditions for updates.
Enjoy
Timberland Hills can be used for a lot of activities in all seasons! Enjoy hiking, hunting, horseback riding and biking in the summer months. In the winter, along with cross country skiing, we welcome fat biking, hiking, snowshoeing and skijoring. As a reminder, please limit activities on the groomed ski trails to cross country skiing only. A portion of our trail system is also shared with the Ice Age Trail.
Stay
Snuggled in the woods in the southeast section of Burnett County, you will find a rustic, minimally maintained, one-room camper cabin. Only accessible by foot, fat bike, snowshoes, skis, or horseback (during the summer & fall), the camper cabin provides a basic shelter for people that want the “camping experience” without having to handle a tent, or have the weather ruin their visit. Within walking distance of the Timberland Hills Cross Country Ski and Mountain Bike Trails and the Ice Age Trail.
Donate
In 1987 the Cumberland Area Ski Touring Association (CASTA) was established and ski trails at Timberland Hills were started. Over the past 35 years, the cross country ski trails and organization have continued to grow. In 2023, construction began on a new single track mountain bike trail network and the process was completed to become a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity. Since it's inception, CASTA, and now THF, does not receive Federal or State funds. Memberships and donations are our main source of income. Click below to donate.
