LATEST CONDITIONS
Due the very warm temperatures and no new snow predicted in the coming days & weeks, the MECCA Trailhead Cabin will be closed for this season. Day temps have left trails soft and sticky with icy conditions on below freezing mornings. The ski and snowshoe trails remain open as we still have a significant base even with conditions being less than desirable. A BIG thank you to all who used the cabin and trails throughout the season. Your support is what allows MECCA to continue to offer quality ski and snowshoeing experiences. A HUGE thankyou to our many volunteers who are the lifeblood of the MECCA organization. MECCA would not be able to function if it not for our great volunteers!!!

About MECCA Trails
There are 21 kilometers (13 miles) of routinely groomed cross-country ski trails and three miles of snowshoe trails. In the spring, summer and fall these trails are used by hikers, runners and wildlife watchers. The trails are moderately challenging as they traverse glacial features of eskers, drumlins and kettles.
The terrain was created by the glaciers thousands of years ago. The forest has stands of hemlocks and pines. There are hardwood uplands of maple and oaks, and wetlands of black spruce, cedars, and tamarack. The trails have great views at the Little Turtle Wildlife Area.
MECCA Ski Club maintains the trails and depends on memberships, donations, and volunteers. The club actively collaborates with the Town of Mercer, Iron County Parks and Forestry Department, the Wisconsin DNR and the Mercer Sanitary District.
Since 1973, MECCA Trails has been community focused, volunteer driven, and donor funded promoting silent sports. MECCA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
