Location Info

Take a guided snowshoe tour with a nature interpreter and discover a winter forest full of life!

Winter is an excellent season to look for signs of animal life in the woods. Would you recognize the tracks of a snowshoe hare? A red squirrel? What made the hole in that tree? 

This two-hour activity includes a presentation at the Gatineau Park Visitor Centre, followed by a guided snowshoe tour along Trail 60.

The number of participants is limited and reservations are highly recommended.

Cost

Free, including the snowshoes!
