Located near Timm’s Hill, Wisconsin’s highest geographical point, these 9 miles of trails traverse some of the most hilly terrain in the state. The winter landscape viewed from the top of the observation tower on Timm’s Hill is very special. Forests of hardwood and hemlock border the full length of the trail. This is one of the finest trail systems around. Groomed for classic and skate skiing by the High Point Ski Club. Lighted night skiing is available for groups by appointment. The trail has three loops and joins the Timm’s Hill Ski Trail which connects the High Point Ski Trail to the Rib Lake Area Ski Trails.
