Fun in the Snow

I need to start this post by being honest with you . . . I am not a winter person but that might change. We have a little cabin fever and need to get out and have some fun.

Off to the internet - I searched "what to do in the winter near me".

Winter Bucket list

• Cross Country Skiing & Snow Shoeing

Lake Metroparks offers cross country skiing and snow shoeing at Chapin Forest Reservation. Reservations are required - check their website for info.

• Sledding

Be a kid again! Sled at Riverview Park in Madison on the steepest, most thrilling sledding hill available in the area.

• Winter Hiking

Fight the cabin fever and go take a hike! There are several parks in the area where you can take a great winter hike. You can even hike under the lights at Chapin Forest - a mile of trail lights are turned on from dusk until the park closes.

• Sipping wine near a fireplace

Don't forget the perfect start or ending to a day of winter activities is a glass of wine.

Have an adventurous day in the snow and a relaxing night at the B&B.
