Why You Should Try Snowshoeing in Wisconsin
Expense
Snowshoeing is relatively inexpensive. Compared to cross-country skiing, it is a much more economical way to explore Wisconsin’s beautiful trails. You can always spend more money on fancy equipment, but snowshoe rental or buying second-hand are popular ways to save money.
Heartwood Resort does offer rental gear for those who do not have snowshoe equipment.
Easy to Use
Snowshoes are easy to use. Indeed it is the same as walking, just with platforms instead of shoes. People find the most challenging part is strapping them on your feet, which is also not too difficult.
They Do Not Take Up Space
Ski equipment can make a space disorganized between winter gear, skis, and poles. Snowshoes limit the chaos in the environment as they require limited storage space.
People also love that they do not take up much space in the car.
They Also Can Be Used Seasonally
Snowshoeing in Wisconsin is unpredictable. As you explore trails in the spring and fall, you may run into areas of snow and wish you had your snowshoes. Many hikers
strap their snowshoes on their backpacks, so they can easily access them when they run into snow on the trail.
Wonderful on Difficult Terrain
While snowshoeing in Wisconsin, you may explore trails that are steep or have accumulated deep snow. If you were on cross-country skis, you might have difficulty blasting past the obstacle. Snowshoes make crossing difficult terrain possible when the conditions are not ideal.
Deep Woods Exploration
You’ll find many trails mapped and marked for deep woods exploration. Tracks often loop over several miles so you may take in the scenery and watch nature unfold. On snowshoe trails, you can often explore areas difficult to access on skis.
Deep trails and incredible scenery are reasons to fall in love with snowshoeing in Wisconsin.
