Bringing The Finest Cross Country Skiing

To Eastern Massachusetts

Catch The Spirit Of Winter At

Great Brook Farm State Park!

Located only 25 miles from downtown Boston, Great Brook Ski Touring Center provides over 10 miles of machine-groomed trails for cross country skiing from December 1 to March 31, snow conditions permitting.

The trails include all levels of difficulty and explore the beautiful landscape of farmland, forests, streams, and ponds at 1,000-acre Great Brook Farm State Park. Skiers can stride past fields and a working dairy farm on the easy Lantern Loop, venture through the quiet woods around Meadow Pond on the Pine Point Loop or test their strengths on the hills of the more difficult Woodchuck Trail. The machine grooming at Great Brook leads the way with a wide, packed surface consisting of two sets of ski tracks and a smooth skating lane.

If you have never cross country skied before, rest assured that Great Brook’s many easy trails are perfect for beginners. If you don’t have cross-country ski equipment, the ski touring center’s huge rental inventory has every size. And if you are too busy during the day, try night skiing by lantern light on Tuesday and Thursday evenings: it’s truly unique! Whether you come for family fun, the natural surroundings, or physical exercise, Great Brook has a beautiful trail groomed for you. Buy a ticket and set your skis in motion… you’ll be surprised where they can bring you.

Ski Conditions

3/31/25: Today officially marks the end of this ski season. Frozen ground and decent snow conditions made it a good year for the ski concession and we thank all who came to enjoy the park's groomed trails, and those who expressed their love for Great Brook's ski area. It is a privilege to serve this special community and to provide a nordic facility in such a beautiful park, now a 43-year tradition. Although the parking crisis looms heavily on the future, we will be hopeful for a realistic solution and look forward to seeing you when the snow falls next winter! ... See MoreSee Less

The inner parking lot's new asphalt surface drains into the outer parking lot, making the flooding worse. Without reliable parking capacity in winter, Great Brook's ski concession cannot sustain itself. ... See MoreSee Less
