We have the cure for cabin fever—snowshoeing at Pleasant Valley! Bring your own snowshoes, or rent a pair from us. Snowshoeing is a fun winter activity that provides good exercise and a chance to explore the great outdoors during a beautiful season.

→ Snowshoes can be used anytime there is AT LEAST 6" of snow on the ground. ←
