Venturing around the refuge on a pair snowshoes offers incredible exercise in the middle of Minnesota's snowy winter.
Don't have snowshoes? That's okay! Stop by one of our visitors centers to borrow a pair of adult or child-sized snowshoes for free for the day. Snowshoe checkouts are offered with a minimum of 6 inches of snow on the ground. We recommend bringing a pair of hiking or ski poles if you have them.
