Snowshoes for Rent

Snowshoeing was once the mode of snow travel used in North America. Snowshoes were used by hunters, trappers, farmers, timber cruisers, surveyors, prospectors, explorers, and soldiers. To travel in snow country snowshoes were either owned or they were made up until about a hundred years ago.

Now, snowshoeing is a popular sport affording great outdoor fun, low impact exercise and is a wonderful way to experience Presque Isle Park’s winter wonderland. If you can walk, you can snowshoe.

MooseWood Nature Center has an assortment of Tubbs and Sherpa snowshoes available for rent to adults and youth. Rental rates are $5/day, $8/weekend (3 days), and $15/week (7 days). Members of MooseWood Nature Center rent snowshoes for free. Snowshoes are available on a first come first served basis or call 906-228-6250 for availability.
