With winter here, those looking to prevent a case of cabin fever are looking to the outdoors. The Bangor area has an abundance of trails perfect for snowshoeing, and also great for cross-country skiing. Before we get started, if you re new to snowshoeing, we have a few tips.
First, consider where and if you can park your vehicle. Some trailhead parking areas are not plowed in the winter. Another tip, study the trail map. In winter, finding your way along a trail can be disorienting. Trail markers may be covered with snow, and less traveled trails may not be well established in fresh snow. Also remember snowshoeing requires more effort than hiking on bare ground. Slogging through deep snow in snowshoes is a workout.
