Know Before You Go
- Snowshoes can be checked out for free daily use at Refuge Headquarters during operating hours and when snow levels allow.
- Mahnomen Trail may be groomed for cross-country skiing; in that case, we ask snowshoers to stay to one side of the trail.

- Please refer to the full list of refuge rules and policies before visiting.
