Go snowshoeing at the Nature Center!
Any time there is at least five inches of snow you can slip on a pair of our snowshoes and explore winter trails. No experience is needed, and it is a fun way to get outside and be active in the winter months. Plus, the scenery on our trails takes on an entirely different kind of beauty when covered in snow. Ready to snowshoe? Remember, there must be at least 5 inches of snow on the ground to protect our snowshoes. Wear either winter or hiking boots. Feel free to bring hiking poles or ski poles; they are helpful but optional. Snowshoes must be used at the Nature Center only, during business hours. We have children and adult sizes. Rental fee (choose morning or afternoon): Members $10; Nonmembers $15. If you are a member of the Nature Center at the Household Plus level or higher ($75 per year), snowshoe rentals are included for free! Just show your membership card at the front desk.

Do you have snowshoes available for rent? Cost? Hours?
Hi, yes, snowshoes are available to rent during open hours (see the contact us page) so long as there is 5 inches (or more) of snow on the ground. The cost is outlined above.
Would love to pick some up, please advise cost & timeframes one can have snowshoes. They would would come in handy at the dog park –
Hi Jeanna. The snowshoes at ICNC are only available for renting for use on our property. A rental is $15 and you can check them out during our regular business hours (10AM – 4PM Tues – Sun).
Is there a weight limit for your snowshoes? I weigh about 275 pounds.
Great question, Mark. Our snowshoes are rated for up to 350 pounds.
