Description
The Van Vliet Hemlocks are a beautiful example of an old-growth forest in the Northwoods. Join a Discovery Center Naturalist to learn about this unique habitat and explore interesting winter animal adaptations that allow animal's survival through winter. This approximately 2-mile snowshoe is moderately strenuous due to the rolling terrain of the area. Families are welcome!
