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 Ave, 1 /2 mile north of Diffley Road.
The south parking lot will provide convenient parking for skiers
who venture onto this trail.
CROSS COUNTRY SKI TRAILS
Cross country skiers are invited to kick and glide on the flat,
herringbone up the hills, and schuss down the other side on groomed
ails in Eagan parks. The beginner, novice and more experienced
skiing enthusiast will be challenged on Eagan's trails.
THOMAS LAKE PARK
Groomed trails will provide cross- country skiers with the .
opportunity to ski the half mile Native Prairie 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 skiable, 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,
which is located on the west side of Pilot Knob Road, 3 /a mile
south of Diffley Road.
PATRICK EAGAN PARK 1 0
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 Ave, 1/2 mile north of
Diffley Road. The trail head is readily accessible from the
parking area.
BLACKHAWK PARK cal
Blackhawk Park offers a family atmosphere for
cross country skiing. Access to groomed trails
can be made 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 toward Riverton Avenue. This trail provides
an excellent workout and some breathtaking views.
CROSS COUNTRY MCI LESSONS
FOR ADULTS
The air is crisp, the snow goes crunch, and you
can see your breath before your face. The instructor
urges you to practice the herringbone up a gentle
slope. The class laughs at the sit marks in the snow.
Learning how to cross country ski builds
confidence. The skills you gain will be there for you
each season. Sunday afternoon ski excursions,
weekend ski trips and a new outlook on winter are
benefits you could fmd from learning how to cross
country ski.
The lessons are designed for beginners. You
may use your own equipment or rent skis, boots and
poles. All class sections are appropriate for those
who have never skied, as well as for those who have
made previous attempts on their own.
The first class meeting will be held indoors at
the class time listed. These sessions meet in the
Community Room at the Eagan Municipal Center,
3830 Pilot Knob Road. The two outdoor sessions
will be held at Lebanon Hills Regional Park at the
Schultz Lake Ski Trail.
Space is limited and preregistration is required.

WINTER FACILITY RESERVATIONS
During the winter months the skating rinks, shelter
buildings and the Trapp Farm tubing hill are the
facilities operated by the Department of Parks and
Recreation. Winter facilities receive approximately
100,000 park visits each year. Each site welcomes the
general public during the published schedule of hours
open. Rink reservations for youth hockey, skating
lessons, adult broomball and boot hockey leagues are
also scheduled at rink facilities throughout the City
during the normal hours of operation.
Parks and Recreation winter preschool programs
are held in some shelter buildings during morning and
afternoon hours. "Program in session" signs are placed
on doors to alert the public that the facility is being
utilized for an activity other than skating.
The Department of Parks and Recreation does
process requests for reserved ice time from community
groups. Generally speaking, permits for reserved use of
a skating rink are written on a space available basis
during normal hours open. Permits are written in one-
hour time blocks.
Private reserved use of a shelter building at a
skating rink site is not readily available during the
winter. Small groups may integrate their outing with
the normal skating related activity at a park. Group
leaders should check with Parks and Recreation prior to
setting a date to find a time and location that will
provide a good experience. To inquire about
reservations, call Parks and Recreation at 651- 681 -4660,
TDD 651- 454 -8535.

time period. Payment secures the reservation.
