Ludington State Park in Michigan's Mason County is offering two GO-Get Outdoors Snowshoe Making classes in December. Participants will learn how to weave a pair of traditional wooden snowshoes similar to the ones Native Americans have been making for generations. Classes will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 4 and Sunday, Dec. 18 at the park, located at 8800 W. M-116 in Ludington.
The cost for making a pair of snowshoes is $180 and includes the pre-formed wooden frames, lacings, high-quality bindings and personal instruction. These hand-made snowshoes can be used for hiking throughout the winter, given as holiday gifts or used as home décor.
Classes will be held at the park’s Warming Shelter. Instruction is geared for ages 16 and older. Class size is limited to a maximum of 10 participants, and reservations are required. To make a reservation, call Ludington State Park, 231-843-9261, or email Alan Wernette at wernettea@michigan.gov.
