Welcome to Swedetown
The Swedetown Recreation Area in Calumet, Michigan, provides outstanding opportunities for recreation: winter cross country skiing, snow biking, and sledding; and summer mountain biking, hiking, and running.
Winter trails include 29 km of groomed cross-country ski trails and 15 km (9 miles) of snow bike trails.
Summer trails include 25 miles of purpose-built singletrack mountain bike trails which are also available for hiking and running.
The Swedetown Chalet provides a welcoming starting point for all trail adventures, and there are two additional trailheads for both summer and winter use. Check out our maps for details.
The Swedetown Trails Club, a volunteer organization, provides the stewardship for the trails in partnership with Calumet Township.
Spring Grooming
As we move into spring, we will alter grooming schedules to accommodate reduced usage and spring conditions. There will be many days when it will not make sense to groom. We will also reduce the number of trails groomed based on time and snow levels. We will continue to groom when conditions allow.
See Nordic Pulse or Keweenaw Trails for the latest grooming reports and check the webcams to eyeball the conditions.
How to Find Us
The main trailhead for Swedetown is on Osceola Road in Calumet near the intersection with Swedetown Road. Look for the big welcome sign marking the driveway.
There is a trailhead with parking on M203. In the summer and fall you can enter here to connect to Lakeview and other bike and hike trails. In the winter you can access ski and snowshoe trails here. Watch for the brown trailhead sign just north of the intersection of M203 and Cloverland Road (the trailhead address is 22500 State Highway M203).
