Join with other winter enthusiasts and explore the woods on snowshoes at the annual guided Snowshoe Trek offered on Sunday, February 2 or Sunday, February 9 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Heritage Park. Snowshoeing is a great way to enjoy winter outdoors on the trails!
The Snowshoe Treks are open to ages six through adult. The cost for the trek is $5 per person; snowshoe rentals will be available at the Nature Center for an additional $5 fee. Snowshoe lessons and a guided hike will be provided by a naturalist.
Please register for the trek in person at the Costick Center located at 28600 Eleven Mile Road or online at http://recreg.fhgov.com. If there is no snow on those dates, the group will walk the nature trails.

Snowshoe rentals are $7 per person. Snowshoe participants should dress in layers for the weather and wear sturdy boots.
