XC ski rental in parks?

[Quetico]

Do any of the regional parks still rent xc skis? Which ones?

Thanks

Three Rivers does. Elm Creek has rentals. I believe they also have rentals at Como in St. Paul. Phalen has decent trails but I don't know if they have rentals.

Quetico,

Were you able to find xc skis to rent? Where did you end up going?

Coon Rapids Dam and Bunker Parks in Anoka County rents XC skis. Check the Anoka County Parks Department HSOforum for more info.

Phalen xc trails remain in great shape and are being groomed on a regular basis.

Not a regional park but Wild River state park has thirty miles of groomed traditional and seventeen miles of skate style trails. They also have rental available. Candlelight ski, snowshoe and hike coming up on January 30th, I believe.

Here's a list of places that rents xc skis around the metro. There's probably more, but this should be a start:

Three Rivers Park District: Baker, Carver, Cleary Lake Regional, Elm Creek Park, Clifton E. French, Hyland Lake

Minneapolis Parks: Theodore Wirth Park, Columbia Golf Course

St. Paul Parks: Como Golf Center

Ramsey County: Tamarack Nature Center

Dakota County Parks: Lebanon Hills

Anoka County Parks: Bunker Hills, Chomonix Golf Course, Coon Rapids Dam

Roseville Parks Dept

I skate skied the Phalen xc trails last night, and they remain in great shape. Very fast last night.

In case anybody is reading this in the future, you can also rent xc skis at the Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield. There are two different loops going around the wetlands but it's only about 3 miles long.
