Snowshoe and Cross-Country Ski Rentals

Reinstein Woods is an excellent place to cross-country ski and snowshoe. There are about 3.5 miles of gentle trails for you explore daily from sunrise to sunset.

We have a large selection of snowshoes (fitting small children to large adults). We have a decent selection of adult cross-country skis and a limited number of skis for youth. Rentals are made on a first-come, first-serve basis.

For parents looking to enjoy snowshoeing with a very young child, we have infant/toddler sleds available to rent for $5.
