Snowshoe? What’s that? A snowshoe is footwear for walking on the snow. This makes it easy to enjoy hiking trails that are usually only accessible during the warmer months.

Enjoy a quiet walk across the snow-covered fields or trek through one of our many pine-scented forests. With miles of trails at Garrett County’s four state parks, there is sure to be a snowshoeing trail for everyone! New to the snowshoeing sport and not sure of what you need? No worries!
