Cross-country skiing is permitted, conditions allowing, on Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge from sunrise to sunset. Mohawk Ski trail is the primary means to ski on the refuge. It is a relatively flat 7.5 mile loop through the grasslands, forests and along the dikes surrounding Mohawk Pool. The trail begins at the Visitor Center on Casey Road. Trails are not groomed regularly by staff and obstructions to the trails are to be expected. Portions of the trail run along Feeder Road and through HQ and Kanyoo Nature Trails to create the loop. Mohawk Ski Trail closes for the season on March 1st to minimize disturbances to nesting and resting wildlife. Alternatively, all the refuge trails are open for shorter skiing excursions.
