Snowshoeing in Michigan is a perfect way to see the tranquil beauty of our region. Wrap yourself in a blanket of snow and enjoy snowshoeing in Michigan’s UP.

Today, snowshoeing pretty much has the same purpose, but is also viewed as more of a fitness and recreational activity for many outdoor adventurists. You can snowshoe anywhere on state land that is open to the public. If you are using trails groomed for cross-country skiing, please walk next to the groomed ski tracks.
