Welcome to Swedetown

Winter is coming! See the current conditions on our webcams.

The Swedetown Recreation Area in Calumet, Michigan, provides outstanding opportunities for recreation, including 26km of groomed cross-country ski trails in the winter and 25 miles of purpose-built singletrack mountain bike trails in the summer.

There are also snowbike and snowshoe trails in the winter. Hikers and runners are welcome to use all of the trails in the summer.

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.
