My girlfriend and I were staying in the area and looking for things to do. Came across this place and decided to check it out. Neither of us knew how to cross country ski. But, the friendly staff gave us some pointers and told us if we were not enjoying it, we could trade in our rental skis for snowshoes. As poorly as we did. We had a blast. If you're new to the sport. This is a great place to start.

Such a fun and low key place to try out XC skiing! We were first timers and wanted to try it with our dog. The guys in the rental shop were super helpful and friendly, the equipment was in good shape, and it was all around easy to find and get set up.The trails were well marked and groomed. It was a bit icy which made it challenging (especially with no experience and an excitable dog!). A beautiful area.Lots of folks on a Sunday with dogs on and off lead - all friendly and well behaved mostly (some came up to our dog but sniffed and moved on quickly), and didn’t see much un-cleaned up dog residue. It was great for us, but if you don’t like dogs or have a reactive dog, might not be the best choice.Overall a great experience and would definitely come back!

Beautiful network of trails perfect snowy conditions! We did most of the trails in the lower half in about 3 hours (all flat to gentle hills) and hope to return sometime to explore the higher terrain.

We had a great first cross country skiing experience here. Many trails to choose from of different distances leveled beginner, intermediate, and expert. Spend an hour and a half, or pack a pack with water and snacks, and spend all day skiing their freshly groomed trails. The rental equipment was great. We had a very friendly welcome.

Great day skiing yesterday at Blueberry Lake! The conditions and weather were so lovely! We appreciated the more natural trails/snow here and the mellow atmosphere compared to more wide groomed "corduroy" trails and a ski center experience. As other reviewers have mentioned the trails are a bit narrower than today's ski centers but they were fine for all in our party.In 2.5 hours or so we skied most of the more steep side/expert trails. We started skiing out Trail 5 and then to Trail 10, and then we climbed and looped around 11 clockwise (so we climbed the steep section and skied down the more gradual slope). Then we went on to ski all of the 6, 7 and 8 loops and back to the center. This was around 6.5 miles of skiing. In the afternoon after lunch we returned and skied both loops of Trail 4, then Trail 3 and 2. This was intermediate/easy and around 3.5 miles.So glad that these trails are available to us all. Thank you!

Had the best day skiing today. Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Amazing to find a place so dog friendly. We had a great time with our pup. The trails were great, we did #9 a great 6km loop, good for beginners and good for more experienced folk who want to stretch their legs. Was fun skiing through the trees, across fields, past cows, horses and gorgeous houses!

What a gem of a XC center. The trails were lovely and quiet, gentle rolling hills a few steeps if you want them. dog friendly. The owner and his family are super helpful. Thanks for the great day!

It was my 12-year-old daughter's first time on cross-country skis. This was a perfect place to bring her with all types of trials to attempt incrementally. The fact that dogs are allowed made it a fun day out for the entire family. The people who run the shop are super friendly, accommodating, and chill. Will definitely go back here!

Wonderful trails with beautiful views! I came to this place because it was the only one with all of its trails open within an hour of Burlington. It seems like this is more of a norm for them on account of this spot receiving more snow than most, so if snow conditions are looking questionable in your area, check out their trail conditions. I will definitely be skiing this place again!

Tried cross country skiing for the first time here. The staff was super helpful and friendly, the equipment worked great, and they have a variety of loop trails for beginners as well as advanced skiers. I highly recommend giving then a try!

Jason is super helpful and knowledgeable. We got family season passes, and rented two sets of XC skis. Even though there wasn't enough snow at Blueberry Lake, Jason suggested other places to try. We have been able to use the equipment and it works well. Beautiful area: we hope to return and ski at Blueberry Lake.

This is a nice family run place. They have plenty of rental equipment in good condition. There are lots of varied and well-maintained trails. It all adds up to a very fun outing!

Super friendly when I called on the phone to ask about my dog coming (they are dog friendly!) and then equally friendly and helpful when we arrived. We had a blast skiing here!

Very rustic. Trails were not tracked as nicely as I would have liked. Trails are not marked very well.

Beginners trails are actually at least intermediate. Little flat stretches to practice your form.
