Guided Snowshoe Tours

Embark on a captivating journey through the woods alongside one of our knowledgeable Guides who will provide valuable insights about the natural features and inhabitants of the area. This territory is home to various wildlife such as black bears, moose, deer, coyotes, bobcats, fishers, ermines, owls, turkeys, and woodpeckers. While actual sightings of these creatures are rare, participants will learn how to interpret tracks, observe scarred trees, identify nipped branches, and recognize the sounds of the forest. The tours will take place either in the woods surrounding Gate House or in the Slide Brook basin, depending on the prevailing conditions of the day.
