Description
Join us for the “last” day of winter during this afternoon snowshoe hike along the North Country Trail as we explore Sibilant Lake. March, known as the crust of snow period,is a great time of year to see wildlife as they take advantage of traveling across the hardened, crusty snow. Portions of this 3 mile route will be a strenuous (refer to Map 14, page 116 of the “Guide to the North Country National Scenic Trail in Minnesota”).
