New Winter Hours... A family affair on the trails...
The snow has been piling up, so Timber Ridge has already opened the doors to our groomed trails on several occasions. Officially, though, we are not open for business until December 20. Check out our new winter business hours here. Call (231) 947-2770 for conditions and updates.

And while you're on the website, consider a season trail pass for yourself, your sweetie, or the family. Nordic skiing and snowshoeing are both very accessible and aerobic sports that allow you a workout while enjoying some of the best scenes that nature has to offer. Also, keep in mind that ONLY season pass holders can enjoy the trails when we're closed. Bonus!
 
 
 
Banquet Facility FaceliftA beautiful wedding scene in the new hall
With a new roof installation already on the agenda, Timber Ridge co-owners Gordon Waggoner and Kristin Levesque determined to spruce up the banquet hall with the addition of more seating space, roof dormers for added natural light, new décor and interior design, new lighting options, and a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling to lend even more charm and character to Timber Ridge's event facility.  Also included in the remodel was expansion of the restrooms and catering preparation area. Schedule a visit to see how Timber Ridge can help you create a memorable affair. And while you're here, check out the charming covered bridge, spacious outdoor tents and cozy log cabin lodge--picture perfect settings for your special events, big or small.
