Each season, guests show increasing interest in snowshoeing, an enjoyable, easy-to-learn activity. The BALSAMS Wilderness has responded by developing annotated trails specifically designed for snowshoers, with now more than 30 km of marked trails for snowshoers only.

The discovery of pristine natural wonders through healthy outdoor exercise is ample reward for trying this ancient mode of winter transportation. Basic instruction and snowshoes are available at the Cross-country Ski Center, as are daily guided snowshoe hikes.
