We will be exploring the winter wonders that the Pine River Nature Reserve offers during the winter.

This is a snowshoe hike so please be sure to bring your snowshoes.  Should the weather not behave and snow is not in abundance, we will still do the hike but icer’s would be recommended in this case as there is sure to still be icy patches within the reserve.

Bring snowshoes, icer’s, mitts, hats, food, and dress according to the weather.
