New Season, New Shoes

You don’t have to give up on hiking just because it’s winter! There are an abundance of snowshoeing trails near Tupper Lake waiting to be discovered. Strap on a pair of snowshoes and enjoy our snow-covered trails. Many of the hiking trails make for a great snowshoeing trek. The groomed cross-country trails at the James C. Frenette Sr. Recreational Trails are also snowshoe-friendly.

Try It - You'll Like It!

Don’t have snowshoes? No worries! Complimentary snowshoes are offered to all Wild Center guests with your paid admission. So after exploring the indoor exhibits, step outside and snowshoe to the glorious oxbow on the Raquette River, the inspiration for The Wild Center's logo.

Love Your ADK

In winter, it is especially important to come prepared and practice ways to Love Your ADK; the best way to avoid emergencies is to properly plan and prepare for your trip.

By taking the Love Your Adirondacks Pledge and practicing Leave No Trace ethics you can help ensure that the forests, waterways, and communities of the Adirondacks remain beautiful and unique for generations to come
