USA Parks and Recreation Areas with Cross Country Skiing

Used by Native Americans for trade, food, and water long before Europeans visited the New World, the Mississippi River and its watershed is a major contributor to the ecology, culture, politics and economy of the North American continent. To acknowledge this fact, Congress established the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area in 1988. The parks boundaries enclose about 54,000 acres and 72 miles of river.

Only 35 acres are owned by the Park Service. read more...
