Even though we haven’t had much snow in Cass County lately, our thoughts have been turning towards our Discover Winter Nights 2023 with excited anticipation! That being said please mark your calendars (and keep your fingers crossed) to join the Cass County Parks and Recreation Department and The Friends of Cass County Parks as they celebrate the seventeenth year of Discover Winter Nights at Dr. T.K. Lawless Park. The evenings of winter fun runs from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. every Saturday, beginning January 28 through February 11, 2023.
Weather permitting, this very popular winter event will feature a lighted tubing hill (tubes provided or bring your own), and three miles of lighted cross-country ski trails. We also have a refurbished sleigh for a tractor-pulled fun ride and the mountain bike trail has been opened for winter biking! Of course a warming fire and refreshments will be available for those wishing for a more relaxed atmosphere with family and friends and crafts for the kiddies.
Fees for this annual event remain at $2.00 per person entrance fee.
Conveniently located just south of M-60 on Monkey Run St., five miles West of Jones, MI., this 820-acre park has long been the centerpiece of winter recreation within the Cass County Parks system. Visitors of all abilities can enjoy more than seven miles of groomed cross-country skiing and hiking trails that travel through some of the most scenic countryside in Southwest Michigan.
Don’t forget to come out and enjoy our Dark Sky Nights too. Our 2023 winter schedule includes February 24 and 25 until 11:00 p.m., and March 24 and 25 until 11:00 p.m. Be sure to check the weather before you come to make sure the skies are clear.
For more information or snow conditions or if the weather has caused us to cancel a Winter Night activity, please call Cass County Parks and Recreation at 269-445-4456 and listen to the answering machine for updated information.
