Winter Trails
Ever wanted to try out a new winter sport? The 14th annual Winter Trails event offers children and adults new to snow sports the opportunity to try snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, geocaching, and more (with plenty of hot chocolate by the bonfire in between). In addition families can learn about winter camping, following winter animal tracks, and take a guided hike. Equipment is provided for free, and a raffle will be held to win a pair of snowshoes.
