The first snows of winter don’t bring an end to outdoor recreation in Johnny Appleseed Country. Instead, they open up a whole new suite of opportunities — like exploring the region’s many trails and conservation areas by snowshoe! Like the Native Americans and early colonial traders and trappers, today’s outdoor enthusiasts can traverse pristine snow to enjoy the beauty of Johnny Appleseed’s backyard. Snowshoes function simply by widening the distribution of a person’s weight on their feet, which keeps them from breaking through the snow. Today’s snowshoes come in several sizes, ranging from small and light for short walks to large and rugged models for backcountry hikes and mountain climbing. Easy to walk in, they require only a slightly larger stride than normal footwear. Johnny Appleseed Country offers a variety of trails for all abilities.
