XC Ski Trails are closed for the season. If you enjoyed the ski trails this year, please consider purchasing a DNR Great Minnesota Ski Pass to help support our trail grooming efforts. Thanks for hitting the trails! Trails are now open for hiking.
The new 7.9kw solar array on the pavilion has been completed and is putting power out onto the grid. Thanks to our Prairie Stars Fund-a-Need donors! Be sure to check it out when you hit the ski trails this winter. The recent solar addition brings us up to 40KW total capacity with a combination of wind and solar. We love sunny and windy days. Thanks to MNSolar for fitting us in to the work schedule before the end of the year!
The Mountain Bike Trails have not been groomed at this time. The Kandi Trail Riders Club has completed 4.5 miles of mountain bike trail. KTR welcomes volunteers to assist with trail construction and maintenance. Please contact the PWELC office if you would like to assist with mountain bike trails and programs.

Prairie Woods on the go! The Big Canoe, the Prairie Woods Pinnacle- mobile rock climbing tower, the enviro-puppet theatre and the Yellow Boats Project will be busy throughout the region this summer getting kids up off of the couch and into the great outdoors.
