Q) Where is a good place to snowshoe?
Snowshoeing is great any place that has enough snow to make it worth your while, about 3 inches.  On our Local Information page, we have listed local snowshoe destinations that we enjoy.  You can select flat or hilly terrain and follow trails or venture out on your own.  Please contact us so we can help you have the experience you are looking for.

Q) What should I wear?
For your comfort, dress to protect yourself from both cold and wind.  Wear layers that are sufficient protection for the weather.  We like long-underwear, a layer for warmth and then a layer for wind protection.  If you get warm, you can remove your gloves or unzip your outer shell.

As for shoes, wear shoes that are adequate for the weather.  You'll want winter or hiking boots that are comfortable for walking.  Snowshoeing is a lot like hiking so think about your walking comfort for both sock and shoe/boot selection.  The snowshoes have adjustable bindings that will work with any size or type of shoe or boot.

Gaiters are a nice touch as well.  Gaiters are a piece of water-resistant fabric, like gore-tex, that straps around your leg just below your knee.  They extend to your ankle and cover your shoelaces.  Gaiters keep deep snow from ending up in your shoe.  If you don't have gaiters, we have them for rent for a small fee.

Q) Is snowshoeing difficult?
Snowshoeing is not much different than walking.  Most people picture the "traditional" snowshoe, which looks somewhat like an elongated tennis racket.  These are great and have their place.  However, they might be more challenging to walk in than the more contemporary snowshoes we rent.  Our snowshoes are sized for weight.  There are even models to accommodate a woman's narrower gait.  We think you'll find yourself forgetting you even have snowshoes on, and just enjoying the beauty, scenery and nature this area has to offer!
