Family Ski and Snowshoe

Fish Creek, WI, January 2, 2015 – Everyone is invited to join the Friends of Peninsula

State Park on Saturday, January 17 for a leisurely ski or snowshoe outing on the

Peninsula State Park golf course.

From 10 AM until noon, individuals and families will enjoy skiing on tracked, level

trails or snowshoeing on the course. Cookies and cocoa will be served around the

fireplace in the warming shelter.

Participants of any skill level are encouraged to come. They can bring their own skis

or snowshoes, or rent equipment available at several local businesses. “If you

haven’t tried snowshoeing or cross country skiing, or if you would like some

instruction, bring your equipment and join the fun,” says Michelle Kemp, of the

Friends board.

Chris Holicek, president of the Friends, encourages those who enjoy the outdoors in

winter to participate in this special event, sponsored by Peninsula State Park and its

Friends group. “The wonderful time we have out on the course, with its beautiful

views, is matched by the warm fellowship we enjoy afterward in the shelter,” she

says.

For this event, enter the park at Highland Road, one mile north of Fish Creek at the

intersection of Highway 42 and County Road A, and park in Lot 5. A State Park

vehicle admission sticker is required. Trail passes will not be required for this event.

Please, no pets.

The Family Ski and Snowshoe will be cancelled if weather conditions are

unfavorable. For information, please call Park Headquarters at 920 868-3258 or
