Snowflakes falling on a winter trail

50% chance of snow = 100% chance of fun!

The holiday weekend is upon us and the forecast shows some great potential to appreciate Mother Nature in her winter best. We have curated some ideas for anyone looking to enjoy some time outdoors.

Winter birding is awesome! With autumn’s leaves resting under winter snow, now is a great time to catch a glimpse of Michigan’s winter birds and observe their behavior. 

Get fishing! Winter is a great time to wet a line. Hit the hard water and spend the day ice fishing. We have pulled together some great resources including how-to videos, suggested fishing locations, safety info and more.

Groomed trails are great! Dedicated volunteers and club members will be busy grooming snowmobile, fat tire and cross-country ski trails. Check out these activities and more on our Winter Fun page.

Want more ideas? Celebrate 100 years of the DNR with our 100 Things to Do list of experiences perfect for a solo trip or family outings.

Be safe, be healthy, be outdoors!
