Swedetown Trails – Hiking, Biking, Skiing, and Snowshoe trails in Calumet, Michiigan

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.

Real-time Grooming Info

Now you can see real-time grooming information for the Swedetown trails. We’ve contracted with Nordic Pulse, which uses the GPS signal from groomers’ phones to provide grooming information. You’ll see a map showing when trails were last groomed, as well as a written report. Give it a try. Nordic Pulse is available on the web and you can download the app to your phone.

Swedetown Winter Trails Day – Our annual event where you can try out outdoor activities on the trails with rental gear provided! On Sunday January 25th there is no charge to try out cross country skis, snowshoes and fat tire snow bikes. **MORE INFO**
