Michigan Snowshoeing is Something the Whole Family Can Do Almost Anywhere
Getting outside and into nature in the winter doesn’t have to be hard. It can be as easy as stepping into a pair of snowshoes and tromping through your neighborhood after a fresh snowfall.
Or, it could be part of a snow shoe adventure to the lakeshore, Upper Peninsula, or ski trip up north.
The neat thing about snowshoeing in Michigan is that it can be done almost anywhere you can find public property and some snow. Most parks will let you snowshoe through the woods or across open fields, blazing your own trail. There are places to snowshoe with dedicated snow shoe trails as well. Snowshoeing on a trail is easier because the trail will already be compacted.
So, the big questions are – where will you take your family to snowshoe in West Michigan this winter – and where can you find snowshoe rental in Michigan?

Choosing Your Snowshoes
Snowshoes have changed a lot over the last few decades.
Old-fashioned wooden snowshoes – the classic snowshoe look – are really hard to walk in. Modern innovations in snowshoes have shrunk the size down and made snowshoes more accessible to recreational users.
Choosing a snowshoe that will keep you from fully sinking into fluffy snow is the objective (note: no snowshoe will keep you on TOP of the snow unless that snow is really crusted over. You will sink into the snow a little bit. The goal is not to sink too far into the snow so that you can easily take steps.)
The bigger your snowshoe, the less you’ll sink into the snow. As you can imagine, having snowshoes that are too big will make it very difficult to walk. Conversely, snowshoes that are too small will leave you knee deep in the snow.
Thankfully, manufacturers post sizing recommendations on their products that are based on the user’s weight. The heavier the user, the larger/longer the snowshoe will need to be.
Other than size, consider the type of binding you’d like to deal with. Is the snowshoe easy to get on and off? Will it fit over the boots you’ll be wearing?
There are a lot of different types of snowshoes out there these days. If you’re purely looking to get out with the family, you don’t need expensive, specialized snowshoes. Choosing modern snowshoes that are easy to use and are the right size will give you the most enjoyable experience.

How to Dress for Snowshoeing in Michigan
You can snowshoe at a leisurely pace, or you can sprint. Dressing for snowshoeing in Michigan will depend on your level of exertion, the weather conditions, and how long you plan to be outdoors.
Your best bet is to layer clothing.
Start with a synthetic underlayer, then and add as many layers as you will need to remain comfortable outdoors for your trip. Kids will likely do best in snow pants or a snowsuit.
Bring a backpack where you can store extra layers, drinks, and snacks while snowshoeing, especially with kids.
You’ll generate more warmth snowshoeing than you would downhill skiing, so a lightweight pair of gloves and a lightweight hat will often suffice.
Here’s more on dressing for winter.

Snowshoeing in Michigan – Where to Go
Snowshoeing locations are spread across Michigan, but are more prevalent in snowbelt areas of northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, and the West Michigan along Lake Michigan’s shoreline where lake effect snow can pile up hefty amounts of the white stuff.
Many Michigan ski resorts also offer snowshoeing.
Please note: Snowshoeing open/closed status fluctuates with the weather, and this year, also with State Health Department orders. Check with your destination on their current status before heading out, and be mindful that snowfall amounts can vary drastically in locations just miles apart. Also, advance equipment rental reservations are highly encouraged. Snowshoeing is very popular this year.
