Winter is just getting started and there's no better time to scope out the cold weather fun.

If you're into ice skating, there's a unique rink that's just a few hours from the Louisville area.

What makes it unique is it's not actually a rink -- it's a trail.

South Bend, Indiana is home to Howard Park. At the park, you can find a 13,000 square-foot ice trail wrapped around a playground.

"The ice trail features rolling hills and soft curves that provide skaters with a diverse terrain when making their way around the loop," the website says.

There is also an "ice pond" attached to it, which is more like a regular rink, where people can learn to skate or play a little broomball.

The trail is open seven days a week during the cold-weather season, typically ending in March.

South Bend is about 4 hours north of Louisville.
