Beginning the week of Dec 13th, volunteer snowmakers began making snow for cross country skiing at Lapham Peak. Our new Pisten Bully 100 (PB100) snow cat is working great to spread the man-made snow. We’ll groom Wednesday night. For updates on our trail conditions, see our Trails Condition page
No Parking
Visitors to Lapham Peak are reminded that Parking is not allowed on the shoulders of Highway C in front of the Park. This creates dangerous situations for people crossing the road on the cross-walks, as well as dangerous situations for those parking illegally. The Town of Delafield has added No Parking signs along the Highway by our entrance. The Waukesha County Sheriff Department is patrolling this road to help keep pedestrians safe.
