Ludington State Park is hosting a series of snowshoe-making workshops this fall and winter at the park's warming shelter. Weekend workshops will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 18 (Sunday), Dec. 1 (Saturday), Dec. 2 (Sunday) and Dec. 16 (Sunday). Workshops on Monday-Tuesday evenings, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., are scheduled for Nov. 19-20, 26-27 and Dec. 10-11.
"Snowshoeing is growing in popularity because it is very easy to learn," said Alan Wernette, park interpreter. "It is a fun and healthy way to enjoy winter and is something the entire family can enjoy doing together."
Participants will make a pair of traditional white ash snowshoes that will last for generations. The $150 registration fee includes all materials and equipment needed to make one pair of snowshoes. Class sizes are limited and reservations are needed. To make a reservation, please call Ludington State Park at (231) 843-9261.
All motor vehicles entering a Michigan State Park or Recreation Area must display a Motor Vehicle Permit, available for purchase at the park entrance. Cost is $24 for a resident annual and $6 for a resident daily. A nonresident annual is $29 and a nonresident daily is $8.
