Winter Rec Path Uses

Rec Path Winter Grooming

Grooming of the Rec Path has ceased for the 2022/2023 season. During the winter the Rec Path is groomed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Summit County, the U.S. Forest Service and the towns of Breckenridge and Frisco partner to groom the Summit County Recreation Path between Frisco and Breckenridge.

Sections

The groomed section of the Rec Path extends from the new Dickey Day Use parking area at the top of the Frisco Adventure Park to the Breckenridge Recreation Center, offering over 8 miles of fee free, winter recreation. The grooming connects the Gold Run Nordic Center and Frisco Nordic Center, as well as both towns. The grooming services also increase winter trail access to and from Summit High School and several residential neighborhoods along the route.

The groomed portion of the Rec Path is free to use and open to the public, but trail passes are still required at the Frisco Nordic Center and Gold Run Nordic Center. Both of these Nordic centers, along with Breckenridge Nordic Center, offer joint passes, which may be used at all three locations.

If you start in Frisco, please be aware that a portion of the free path does cross our fee-based Nordic trails. Please follow the signs and stay on the free trails; if you want to ski or snowshoe on the Frisco Nordic trails, visit the Frisco Nordic Center to purchase a day pass.
