We will Meet on Saturday, February 13th, 9:30 am at the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age Interpretive Center. At 10:30 we will be snowshoeing from Knickerbocker Lake to Horseshoe Lake. We will drop off vehicles so we don't have to snowshoe all the way back. After we get done snowshoeing, lunch will be back at the interpretive center by the fire pits.
Please bring a dish to share for our pot luck style lunch. You might also want to bring a quick snack to have on our snowshoeing trip.
No cancellations. This event will be a go no matter the weather. The great thing about snowshoeing is how nice and toasty you stay.
The Ice Age Center is a very nice facility to visit. You can borrow snowshoes from the center and I'm sure they would appreciate a donation for them.

The most popular trails at Chippewa Moraine are the three, self-guided trails that begin at the interpretive center. Hike or snowshoe the trails to see glacial kettle lakes, hummocks, ice-walled lake plains and wildlife.
