Cross Country Skiing Cross country skiers are invited to kick and glide on the flat, herringbone up the hills, and schuss down the other side of groomed trails in Eagan parks. The beginner, novice and more experienced skiing enthusiast will be challenged on Eagan's trails. Northview Park A beginner trail will loop around the pond, behind the tennis courts and back to the point of departure. The groomed trail will take advantage of gentle slopes and flat surfaces. The skier will experience warmth from the shelter of the woods and the brisk air of open space. The park is located on Northview Park Road, east of Lexington Avenue, ' mile north of Diffley Road. Thomas Lake Park Groomed trails will provide cross country skiers with the opportunity to ski the half -mile Native Pr loop, which traverses gentle slopes, flat stretches, and the openness of the prairie. A second alternative is to ski the scenic, wooded lakeside trail, which is more rugged, yet ski able, even for the beginner. A circle route is formed by kicking and gliding north along the trail adjacent to Thomas Lake Road, then heading east on the Highline Trail back to the park. Ample parking is available in the Thomas Lake Park parking lot, located on the west side of Pilot Knob Road, 44 mile south of Diffley Road. Patrick Eagan Park Two miles of trail over variable terrain await the cross country skier. The trail begins with a steep down slope; after that, the skier will find scenic flats and rolling hills. At several points on the trail you will experience being "in the woods." This trail provides a good workout! The park is located west of Lexington Avenue, lfi mile north of Diffley Road. The trail head is readily accessible from the parking area. Blackhawk Park Blackhawk Park offers a family atmosphere for cross country skiing. Groomed trails can be accessed from the parking lot off Murphy Parkway. The pavilion warming shelter will be open on weekend afternoons. Two miles of looped trails meander over variable terrain. You may elect to follow the trail around the east end of the lake, across the narrow bridge, and short cut directly back to your starting point. Or you may take the long way back, herringboning up hill towards Riverton Avenue. This trail provides an excellent workout and some breathtaking views.
