Put on by EcoAventures, guests can “expect to travel 5 km outdoors in winter conditions for 4 hours. Snowshoeing or hiking over uneven terrain with some slippery sections, cliff edge, moderately steep descents and climbs.” And “on route discover frozen inland lakes, traverse billowy snow-draped landscapes and learn to recognize tracks of the wild animals that inhabit this ecological treasure.”

The snowshoe trek takes place every Saturday from December 30th to March 30th starting at 11 AM. Groups meet at the Cyprus Lake parking lot ahead of the experience. EcoAdventures advises guests to bring warm layered winter clothes and especially warm comfortable winter boots, a day pack with a water bottle or a thermos, snacks and a packed lunch.

They also ask you to bring snowshoes if you have them but if not, EcoAdventures can provide new modern snowshoes for all participants! Depending on weather conditions ice cleats may be needed which EcoAdventures can also supply.

Prices start at $85 per guest and $15 for parking.

Time to take in nature’s beauty winter-style!
