As Crooked Lake freezes over, park staff keeps it smooth for blades. Hit the warming house for some hot chocolate.

Rochester Outdoor Ice Skating Rink
Bear Creek Nature Park Ice Skating Rink (740 West Snell, Rochester, Michigan 48306)
Bear Creek Nature Park features an ice skating pond deep inside the park. I highly recommend the trail map to find it as the path system can be confusing for first-time visitors. The pond is also quite a walk from the parking lot so it may not be ideal to use as an ice-skating location. Park entry is free and Bear Creek does not provide ice skate rentals.
