‘Tis the season for a lantern-lit snowshoe hike!
Bundle up and join the Kalkaska Conservation District, Live Well Kalkaska Substance Free Coalition, and the Kalkaska County Sheriff’s Office for a magical lantern-lit snowshoe hike designed for youth, families, and community members of all ages!
We’ll meet at the Kalkaska Public Carpool Lot (corner of W M-72 and W Kalkaska Rd) at 6:00 PM before heading out for a just under two-mile, out-and-back hike along Smith Lake Trail. The soft glow of lanterns will light our way through the winter woods, a perfect way to enjoy Michigan’s snowy season together.
We have a number of snowshoes and poles available to borrow, but please bring your own if you have them. We also have a supply of lanterns available for borrow. **PLEASE RSVP IF YOU NEED TO BORROW SNOWSHOES!**
After the hike, you’re invited to join us for a cup of hot cocoa to warm up before we go our separate ways!
This event is FREE and open to the public. While you know your child’s abilities best, we believe this hike is best for children 8 & up.
This is a snow or shine event, but In the case of severe inclement weather, we will reschedule. If there is no snow, we will still hold the event without snowshoes!
