"Ski Touring at Canterbury Farm is the real ski experience".
Our trails were specifically designed for cross country skiing. Opened in
1985, the property is family owned and has been under a forest stewardship
and management plan since 1941. The trails pass through forests, nearby
lakes, meander by beaver ponds and cross stone walls where the old growth
trees exist. Our professionally landscaped gardens are open to the public
during the summer weekends.
