Discover the Joy of Winter with Snowshoe Michiana!

Few outdoor activities rival the accessibility and fun of snowshoeing. It's the ultimate winter trifecta: a great workout, an inexpensive way to explore, and a fantastic opportunity for social connection.

Welcome! I’m Cathy Dietz, and I’m on a mission to help South Bend fall in love with winter. A few years ago, after a major storm, my husband Don and I grabbed some old snowshoes from his truck and headed for Howard Park. That one walk changed everything for me! Instead of dreading the snow, I found a way to celebrate it. Snowshoeing is the perfect mix of fresh air, great exercise, and pure fun. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a total beginner, I’m so glad you’re here to 'flip the script' on winter with us!

Ready to try it? Join Snowshoe Michiana this winter, where everyone at every experience level is welcome to experience this beginner-friendly sport!

We will be organizing local showshoeing events this winter and invite you to join us. Our website is your comprehensive resource, featuring REI Co-op's education guide on snowshoeing technique and gear, plus a list of local rental/purchase options and the best area trails.

Membership is free this season! Simply sign up by completing a waiver to join the group adventures.

Our events are at the mercy of Mother Nature, so we will do our best to keep an eye on the weather and post trekking dates as soon as possible on our website and facebook page. To stay updated on the status of outings and any last-minute schedule changes, we use the free GroupMe messaging app. Just download the app and search for Snowshoe Michiana. Once you submit your completed waiver we will add you to the group.

Here's hoping for lot's of snow this season! Let's get out there and make it your best winter yet!
