SNOWSHOEING HAS CONCLUDED FOR 2026. CHECK BACK NEXT WINTER.
Explore our mix of easy-moderate trails by snowshoe, take in the sights and sounds, and enjoy the winter wonderland!
If you’re looking to try snowshoeing for the first time or want to learn about winter in the Adirondacks, reserve a spot on a Naturalist-led hike, happening weekends in January and February at 10:30 and 1:30. Snowshoe rentals in child and adult sizes are available for on-site use, no reservations needed.
Current Snow/Trail Conditions:
On a Naturalist-led hike we’ll cover the basics of snowshoeing while you learn about animal tracking, winter ecology, and the history of Up Yonda Farm. During the program, we’ll traverse about a mile over the course of an hour, and will include a stop at our scenic vista point overlooking Lake George. Your program will finish near the Farmhouse, where a campfire and hot cocoa will be available! This program is suitable for participants who are able to walk a mile of gradual uphill terrain, typically ages 5 and up.
Reservations are recommended via nonrefundable reservation deposit of $1/person. Please see the Rates tab for more information. Your reservation deposit will be applied toward the cost of the program, the remaining balance will be collected upon check in.
If there is not enough snow on your selected weekend, we will convert the snowshoe to a Naturalist-led hike instead, at a rate of $6 per person.
*The above reservation is a $1 per person non-refundable registration deposit/ticket. Walk-ins will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
Up Yonda Farm offers nearly 3 miles of hiking and snowshoeing trails! Adult, child, and toddler sized snowshoe rentals for use at Up Yonda Farm are available at the Farmhouse for $5 per pair. Please check in at the Farmhouse with a Naturalist upon arrival for assistance with trail maps, trail conditions, snowshoe rentals, and payment of the Day Use Fee.
To minimize damage to the equipment, there must be at least five inches of snow on the ground for snowshoe rentals. Rentals are available Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00am to 4:00pm. (No rentals out after 3:00pm.) Last day for snowshoe rentals will be Saturday, February 28.
