POTSDAM – A Beginner Snowshoe hike at Southville State Forest is being held Saturday, Jan. 14.

It is a 2.3-mile snowshoe hike for beginners through a beautiful forest and along the west branch of the St. Regis river. The hike has little elevation change.

Be sure to dress warm (no cotton), wear a polypropylene liner (something like Under Armour) and then a lightweight breathable shirt (some sort of poly blend) and then a sweater of wool or fleece and, if you have them, wear waterproof winter boots.

If you don't have equipment, contact in advance for help with needed equipment. Contact Blair Madore at 315-261-0751 or [email protected] for details. This is a joint Potsdam Public Library on the Outside event with Laurentian Chapter, Adirondack Mountain Club.
