The Cross-Country Ski Trails are built and maintained by the Devon Nordic Ski Club. They groom and track-set on the Devon Golf Course and Lions Campground. The Golf Course tracks are for Skiing only (no bikes, hiking, snowshoeing). The DNSC is a non-profit organization and the trails are maintained by volunteers. There's no fee to use the ski area, but you can help keep the trails in good shape by popping a couple bucks in the donation box at the entrance of the ski area.
