Port Crescent State Park will hold a "GO-Get Outdoors" candlelight cross-country ski night on Jan. 12. Approximately 1.5 miles of the groomed cross-country ski trail will be illuminated for night skiing. Luminaries will be lit at 5:30 p.m. and skiers may begin skiing after that time. A bonfire and refreshments will be available for the skiers to help them warm up.
Participants also may take a ride in a horse drawn sleigh, complete with sleigh bells. There is a nominal charge of $1 for each person per ride.
Anyone interested in the event should call the Port Crescent State Park at (989) 738-8663 for trail conditions. This event may be canceled due to lack of snow or adverse weather conditions. Port Crescent State Park is located off Port Austin Road in Port Austin.
All motor vehicles entering a state park or recreation area must display a Motor Vehicle Permit, available for purchase at the park entrance. Cost is $24 for a resident annual and $6 for a resident daily. A nonresident annual is $29 and a nonresident daily is $8.
