Snowshoe Rentals

We are now offering snowshoe rentals from the Recreation Activities Center to be used on the Civic Center Trails behind the building.
  • The cost is ​$6 for a 2 hour rental.
  • Adult and youth sizes available (sizes based on weight not shoe size). It is recommended that you wear winter boots while snowshoeing.
  • Must leave a driver’s license/photo id as deposit.
  • Must be used on Civic Center Trails only.
  • Rentals available M-TH 8a-7p and F 8a-4:30p or during  Nature Room Open Hours.
 
If you are new to snowshoeing we invite you to attend a snowshoe program or Nature Room Open Hours for a brief tutorial. Limited instruction will be available at time of rental. 
 
​Any equipment turned in after rental hours (RAC building hours) will be charged $5 for every 10 minutes. Participants will be liable to pay for damaged equipment, $150 per pair of snowshoes. There must be at least 3 inches of snow on the ground before rentals will be made available.
