Hartwick Pines State Park - March 14-15, Snowshoe Building Workshop

Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15 

9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days (or until you finish lacing your snowshoes)



Instructors will teach participants, step by step, how to lace the Ojibwe-style, wooden-framed snowshoes (11 by 54 inches). Tubular nylon will be used for the lacing. The snowshoe kit comes with a set of "Super A" bindings. Participants will have to varnish their snowshoes with a spar urethane/marine varnish at a later time, preferably in a well-ventilated location.

There will be a lunch break at noon, and participants may either bring their own food or go into downtown Grayling to buy lunch.



Cost for the class is $195.
