Snowshoeing in Stowe
Stowe has a wide variety of terrain, so snowshoers can go at their own pace. A great place to start is on the flat, 5.3-mile Recreation Path, which winds its way through forests and meadows, and crosses the West Branch River 11 times on arched wooden bridges: Beginners can get used to wearing snowshoes and more experienced snowshoers can either enjoy a leisurely walk or warm up before heading to more difficult terrain. Visitors who don't own snowshoes can rent them from seven Stowe locations: A.J.'s Ski & Sports, Boots 'n Boards, the Nordic Barn, Pinnacle Ski & Sports, Shaw's General Store, Trapp Family Lodge and Umiak Outfitters.
Guests can get more out of their adventure by taking a snowshoe tour. Snowshoe tours are available at the following centers: The Green Mountain Club, Vermont's largest hiking organization, has compiled a list of nine favorite snowshoe hikes in the Stowe area. The list includes trail lengths, estimated hiking times, degrees of difficulty, locations of the trailheads, and descriptions of the trails. For maps, guide books, and information about snowshoe hikes, visitors can stop at the Green Mountain Club on Route 100.
