About the program
Hartland Winter Trails is very happy to announce our snowshoe lending program. Over the years, our organization has been gifted or purchased lightly-used snowshoes to create and build upon the opportunity for the community to borrow the equipment needed to get out on the Hartland Winter Trails and go snowshoeing.
Maybe you have thought about trying snowshoeing but don’t wish to make the investment of purchasing a pair until you have given it a try. Perhaps you have a friend or family member visiting for the weekend and you would like to take them snowshoeing on the Hartland Winter Trails but you need snowshoes for them to borrow.
How to participate
To borrow equipment, visit the Hartland Recreation Center, located in the old school building in the 3-Corners Village at 19 VT Route 12. Snowshoes are kept under the cover of the porch, up the stairs on the Route 12 side of the building. We have a number of pairs sized for adults and children which can be signed out for up to 10 days at a time on a first come, first serve basis.
You are welcome to borrow the snowshoes as many times as they are available through the season, but they should not be taken for the entire season giving consideration to others for their use.
We hope you will take a pair for a jaunt on the trails and decide firsthand how much fun getting out in the snow on a Vermont winter’s day can be!
Pay it forward
