Cross-country skiing is available at Quail Brook Golf Course located on Elizabeth Avenue in Franklin Township (732 560-9199) from 8am - 4pm. Cross-country skiing is also available on the trails at the Environmental Education Center (EEC) located on Lord Stirling Road in Basking Ridge (908 766-2489) from 9am - 5pm. Skiers may not use the trails solo, so please come with a partner. Please call the phone numbers listed next to each facility for additional information.

The Environmental Education Center has several miles of trails suitable for cross-country skiing when weather conditions permit. The trails are mostly level and wide, making this beautifully rustic area particularly suitable for beginners or novice skiers. Please bring you own ski equipment. Our facility is open every day from 9am-5pm (except on certain holidays). No single skiers allowed, so please come with a partner or friends. Skiing is only allowed when there is more than four inches of snow on the trails and only on those areas identified for skiing – watch for new signage on our trails!
