Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Purchases Snowshoes

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, a member of the National Park System, and established in 1970, has purchased 50 pairs of snowshoes for rental this winter.

According to park ranger Bill Herd the fleet of snowshoes will be available from mid-December to Easter. Additionally he said, "In a typical winter at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, the trails become snow-covered paths and snowshoe hikes are a fantastic way to explore the wooded areas and otherwise unaccessable regions of the park during the winter months."
