    Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hr
    Terrain: Moderate – Some hills and/or some poor footing
    Distance: 5 km

    Description

    The 5km loop snowshoe provides an interesting blend of the scenic and the historic along the river and surrounding woods. There are some steep, but short ascents. The second half of the 19th century saw the area develop into a thriving community, built around the water power of Walter Creek. At the halfway point, we will take in the view of the falls and valley from the observation platform, and then after completing the loop, there will be the option to have lunch at the Inn. Bring a snack or lunch and water. Note: This could be a snowshoe hike or “icers”, depending on the snow conditions.
