Winter Season
With our first heavy snowfall upon us, anticipation for winter events and activities is at an all time high. Our cross-country ski trails are starting to be groomed, there are snowmobile tracks across town, and snowbanks are lining the streets. Outdoor winter gear is being pulled out of the garage and getting a tune-up for the upcoming spree of cold-weather events in Tupper Lake.
Ready to discover how we have fun in the winter? Check out this overview of some of our favorite annual happenings, and a couple of new and exciting events we've added to the list!
