Notes

About 17km total of trail loops near the St. Cloud penitentiary. Some scenic woods and great hills. Just a mile from the Mississippi, trails run on land that was formerly a farm and takes skiers through pastures, forests, and apple orchards. Trails are mostly easy to intermediate with a few challenging hills.

Greystone Trails - Warm Up, Orchard and Hilltop is reasonable shape. Good for skating. Not enough snow for classic. Some grass showing through. I did not ski the North Loop, but heard it is in better shape, but no classic there either. Remember to buy a MN Ski Pass when using these trails. Without our Ski Pass funds from the state on Minnesota we could never afford to keep them groomed.

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
I skied the Orchard Loop between 3-5 PM. This trail had been packed and groomed for freestyle only over this part of the Jail Trails. Kudos to a superior effort done. However, this loop has been abused, as earlier skiers had skied down the middle of the trails before the snow had frozen leaving deep ruts. There is dog feces and dog urine on the trail. Hopefully with another grooming to level and break the icy snow crust and better stewardship among skiers, it will be more enjoyable.
