Big Foot Beach State Park Conditions

Conditions as of Thursday, January 26, 2012:

Trails

Mild winter weather in the last week has made for poor cross-country ski trail conditions. Trails throughout the park are frozen and covered in patchy snow.

Fishing

The lagoon has frozen over, but ice-fishermen are advised to use caution at all times. Park staff do not monitor ice conditions.
