The trails are extremely icy, making it dangerous to ski. Skiing is not recommended until measurable snowfall. River Bend Nature Center is not renting skis until further notice.

Trails were freshly packed and tracked Friday morning. Trails are good for skiing, but get out here before the snow melts! River Bend offers learn to ski programs on Saturdays for beginners.

Track is set, but trails by parking lots have seen lots of walkers. Trail was soft with the rain. I would rate the conditions as poor.

Trails were in rough condition. There just isn't quite enough snow! Lots of icy patches and some stretches of the trail don't have tracks set. The scenery made up for the conditions, River Bend is a beautiful place!

Trails are packed and tracked throughout the nature center. Be careful because there is a base layer of ice. Small bare patches in spots due to drifting snow.
