Northland Lodge - Minnesota Winter Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing has been around for thousands of years, only recently has it been gaining popularity as a recreational activity. It’s easy to learn, it doesn’t require a long list of expensive equipment, and it’s a great way to explore Minnesota's natural beauty. People can reach places they wouldn’t normally reach without their snowshoes carrying them over deep snowbanks. Seeing the beauty of a snow-covered area that isn't usually accessible is truly magical.

Not only is snowshoeing fun, but it’s also a great way to stay in shape. Snowshoeing uses a lot of muscles that aren’t ordinarily used. Wearing layers is suggested, just as if you were skiing or hiking, since it can be quite a workout.

All Minnesota State Parks and Forests are open and available for snowshoeing activities. Snowshoe trekkers have the advantage of being able to blaze their own trails in the park or forest and are not confined to a particular area or trail. Please note however, that snowshoe activity must be kept off of groomed ski and snowmobile trails.

Stay at Northland Lodge to explore the beautiful white northwoods scenery in the trails of surrounding Chippewa National Forest. You will find that snowshoeing is an excellent way to appreciate the wild and natural beauty of a winter walk.
