Get out and enjoy winter!
The Historic Indian Agency House invites the public to explore the Historic Indian Agency House Nature Trail by cross-country skis or snowshoes. If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity, you must stop by the Visitor's Center to sign in before you hit the trail. (This will help us keep track of visitation and help ensure your safety!)
Tentative dates include the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of January, February and March 2014.
Hours are 9am to 3pm, with event dates dependent upon weather and snow cover. (Call HIAH at 608-742-6362 or email historicindianagencyhouse@gmail.com with questions about specific dates or for further information.)
Don't have your own snowshoes?
USE OURS!
Due to the generosity of the Great Circle Foundation, HIAH has acquired several sets of beginner's snow shoes--in a range of sizes (including adult, young adult, and children's, ranging from a weight limit of 25 to 250 pounds).
Reservations are required, with each reservation allowed a two-hour time allotment with the snow shoes. These snow shoes will remain the property of HIAH, and must remain ON HIAH PROPERTY at all times, for the duration of the loan period. *
Snow Shoe Borrowers must report to our Visitor's Center (20 minutes before your reservation time is suggested) for check-in, and for a brief tutorial before heading out.
This opportunity is FREE--whether you utilize our snow shoes or have your own.
Call 608-742-6362 OR email historicindianagencyhouse@gmail.com to make reservations for your family, Scout troop, or yourself TODAY! (Also makes for a great date!)
Borrowing will be treated on a first-come, first-serve basis--but we will do the best we can to accommodate you!
*Borrowers accept full responsibility for the shoes, and agree to replace broken or damaged shoes, shoe components, or ski poles.
