Wisconsin's first skating ribbon draws thousands to Boulder Junction Winter Park

from Lake Effect Spotlight · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR

Many Midwesterners have worn a pair of ice skates to hit the rink or a frozen pond in the winter. But have you ever tried a skating ribbon? It’s essentially an ice skating trail in the woods and the first one opened up in Wisconsin last winter. It’s called “The Glide” and it’s at Boulder Junction Winter Park — an outdoor winter recreation area. And for this month’s Wandering Wisconsin, we’ll help you plan a trip there. Lake Effect’s Becky Mortensen is joined by Mary Jones, the executive director of the Boulder Junction Chamber of Commerce and Amanda Weibel with Travel Wisconsin.
