Make your own snowshoes
Snowshoeing is a fantastic alternative if you're seeking for ways to enjoy Pure Michigan's wintertime outdoors. Learn how to construct your own snowshoes this winter from the Department of Natural Resources by reading on. Changing from flip-flops to weatherproof boots or, in some situations, snowshoes can help you adjust to winter. A snowshoe-making workshop can be the perfect fit for you if you enjoy doing things on your own and enjoy the revitalizing sense of being outside in the winter.
Visitors can enroll in a two-day program at Hartwick Pines State Park that teaches them how to make Bear Paw-style snowshoes, an oval-shaped shoe capable of supporting 200 pounds or less. It takes some focus and concentration to lace the snowshoes. Anyone who has ever created their own pair will attest to the pride that comes from mastering such a distinctive and enduring talent. When you're finished, you'll have a pair of snowshoes that will hold up through many snowy winters.
