Winter hiking on snowshoes.
Winter hiking on snowshoes is a favorite Adirondack adventure. In January and February, Up Yonda Farm in Bolton Landing on Lake George offers a series of snowshoe treks that provide the fundamentals of snowshoeing along with a Naturalist-led hike that shares insights into Adirondack winter ecology.
The program begins with instruction on snowshoeing basics, and then the group heads out on a one-mile, hour-long tour across Up Yonda Farm’s property. Along the trail, participants learn more about animal tracking, winter environmental insights, and the Farm's history.
Snowshoers will get a special bonus when the group stops at Up Yonda Farm's scenic vista point, which offers a spectacular view of Lake George - the Queen of American Lakes. The program concludes near the Farmhouse, where participants can warm up by the campfire and enjoy hot chocolate.
