Participants can experience a fun and exciting way to enjoy winter at a “snowshoeing for beginners” class at Lac qui Parle State Park on Saturday, Jan. 21, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Snowshoeing, one of winter’s easiest types of recreation to learn, can be fun for all ages, alone or in groups. As a low impact workout, snowshoeing can burn more calories than running, cycling or cross country skiing.
The course will begin with a brief talk before participants put on their snowshoes for a winter hike. A limited supply of snowshoes is available for rent.
There is no charge for the course, but preregistration is required and limited to 20 participants. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Vehicles entering the park are required to have a Minnesota State Park permit ($5 daily or $25 year-round), which can be purchased at the park.
Contact Cara Greger at Lac qui Parle State Park, 320-734-4450, ext. 225, for more information or to register.
To reach Lac qui Parle State Park, go north from Watson on State Highway 7, then west on Chippewa County Road 13. For more information on the park, visit mndnr.gov\state_parks\lac_qui_parle.
