Have you tried snowshoeing yet?
Snowshoeing is becoming more and more popular.
I have noticed that more resort and even provincial parks are now offering snowshoe rentals and even trails.
Snowshoeing is a healthy, relaxing way to enjoy winter and nature and knows no age limit, as you as you are physically fit.Snowshoes have come a ” way” too.
If you remember the heavy wooden trail breakers from your childhood, you will ve pleasantly surprise by today’s ultra-light snowshoeing equipment.
Bring the family and enjoy a quiet “walk” through a snow covered forest in your area.
If you are looking for rentals, guided tours, and groomed trails, check out the list of popular Snowshoeing spots in Ontario below.
