Come and lace your own traditional cross-country snowshoes. Snowshoes are an excellent way to explore Michigan’s wintery outdoors. This eight-hour course provides in-person instruction, two wooden, Iverson snowshoe frames (10 by 46 inches), tubular nylon lacing material and Super A-style snowshoe bindings. By the end of the day, you will walk away with your very own hand-laced snowshoes.
After the class is complete, you will still need to varnish your snowshoes at your own home before they can be used in the snow.
Cost is $180 per person. For ages 16 and older.
To register for this class, go to Michigan.gov/DNRLicenses and click on the "Purchase a license" button. Sign in (using either a username and password or your ID and birthdate), and find the class under the Outdoor Skills Academy tab.
For registration help contact Katie Urban, park interpreter, at 906-885-5206.
A Recreation Passport is required on your vehicle for entry into the state park.
Please note: Registration is required by Dec. 4. Cancellations must be made by Dec. 5 to guarantee a full refund.
