Allamakee County Conservation to host "Full Moon Snowshoe" event January 16

The Allamakee County Conservation Board will be hosting a free snowshoe event January 16 at 6.pm. The “Fullmoon Snowshoe” event will be a guided trail hike taking place after dark to enable the participants to see the stars and full moon like they have never seen before. The event requires preregistration and is open to all ages.  However, anyone under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.  The “Fullmoon Snowshoe” is tentatively scheduled for the Forester’s Trail at Yellow River State Forest and snowshoers should meet at the Yellow River State Forest Headquarters. In the case of inclement weather or poor snow conditions the “Fullmoon Snowshoe” may be delayed or postponed.  
Appropriate sized snowshoes and trekking poles will be provided to individuals. Participants should dress for the weather with appropriate layers including outerwear, winter hats, gloves, and waterproof boots. A headlamp or small flashlight is also recommended, but not required.
