Attendees are encouraged to bring their own sleds for the Dune Climb, and cross-country skis and snowshoes for the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail. Snowshoes will be loaned on a first-come, first-served basis. Ranger-led snowshoe hikes will be offered at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Visitors can sign up for the hikes with a ranger at the event. There is no advanced registration. Hikes will last roughly one hour.
While some activities (like sledding and snowshoeing) are dependent on snow, this event will take place regardless of snow conditions. In the case of a lack of snow, ranger-led trail hikes will be offered and alternative winter activities provided.
The National Lakeshore is gearing up to have a great year in 2020. Check out the calendar of events to discover anniversary programs and activities for each month at https://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/calendar.htm.
