I confess, I’m a summer girl. Nothing makes me happier than a good book, a beach and a comfortable chair. However, in Mid-Michigan, winter is a fact of life. You can huddle-up inside and wish it away OR you can embrace it!

One winter activity available in Meridian Township is cross country skiing. It’s fun and great exercise too! The Harris Nature Center on Van Atta Road in Okemos and the Lake Lansing North Park in Haslett are both great places to give cross country skiing a try.

Lake Lansing North Park is run by the Ingham County Parks System. There are several miles of groomed trails available as well as rental equipment, but hours vary each week. You can call the Ingham County Parks at 517/676-2233 to inquire. The Harris Nature Center is operated by Meridian Township. They are open daily and rental equipment is available by the hour or day. Fees are $5 an hour during the week or $7 per hour on the weekend. Daily rates are $15 and $20 respectively. Harris Nature Center has some nice trails that run along the Red Cedar River. You can also rent your equipment at Harris then take it elsewhere. Snow shoes are available for rent at the same rates.

Another fun winter activity in Meridian Township is sledding. Meridian Hill, located on the west side of Meridian Road, just south of Haslett Road is a great place to sled. It’s free and really fun for all ages.

Next time you are looking for a fun winter activity close to home, I encourage you to check these activities out!
