Snowshoe Through The Tallgrass Prairie At Herbert Hoover National Historic Site

Share

Once the snow piles up in Iowa, you can head to Herbert Hoover National Historic Site for a snowshoe trek through the park's tallgrass prairie.

Rangers will be on hand to lead the hikes at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, January 10 and 11,  January 24 and 25, February 7 and 8, and February 21 and 22.

The one-hour “Snowshoe Through the Park” is suitable for ages 5 and up. The walk will begin, weather and trail conditions permitting, at Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum and will cover less than one mile through the tallgrass prairie. Participants must have sturdy boots, and should dress appropriately for the weather and bring water. 

The park has some snowshoes to lend. Call (319) 643-2541 to reserve a pair. Participants borrowing snowshoes should arrive early to try on the snowshoe.
