Ely Area Trails
Trails are maintained year-round, mostly by volunteers. Many hours of labor go into trail maintenance. Please respect the non-motorized use policy. No dogs on the groomed trails please.
The Hidden Valley Recreation Area is located approximately .3 miles from Ely city limits. The trail-head includes a heated chalet that will be open to paid club members via Key-less entry. Throughout the winter, the 25+km of classic & skate ski trails are machine-groomed on a consistent basis. Check the Trail Report for daily conditions. The MN ski pass is required and if you are skiing as a non-member, a donation of $5 per day is requested. Enjoy the trails!
