Embrace the Cold: Snowshoeing in Victoria Park

Nestled in the midst of the bustling town of Truro there is a serene wilderness waiting to be explored.  If you enjoy hiking during the warmer times of year snowshoeing may be the perfect winter hobby for you to try. The town of Truro encourages everyone to discover Victoria Park in the winter. Available for loan from the town is the winter gear to discover your inner adventurer. Choices include snowshoes and cross country skis. During the Long John festival in February guided tours are provided all day long on Sunday.

 

As long as your shoes are buckled tightly snowshoeing is not very different from walking or hiking. Some people find they need to adjust to walking with a wider stance to avoid stepping on their own shoes.

With snowshoes securely attached to your feet it is time to see the magical forest in Victoria Park.

Enjoy your adventuring! Remember to always hike with a buddy or small group of friends and always carry a map and compass.
