Sylvan Lake State Park Hosts Full Moon Snowshoe Hike
EAGLE Colorado – Howl at the moon and get some exercise at Sylvan Lake State Park with a guided full moon snowshoe hike tomorrow, Wednesday January 19th, starting at 6:00 pm. Discover the magic of moonlight on a snow covered landscape. Experience the beauty of Sylvan Lake State Park in a new way, and break out of the January doldrums with an outdoor adventure.
Participants should meet at the Fisherman’s Paradise Campground at the lake, approximately 15 miles south of Eagle Colorado. A $7.00 daily vehicle pass or Colorado State Park Annual Pass is required. Staff will lead the hike by the light of the full moon. View Sylvan Lake State Park, the frozen lake, the stars above and the creatures that call Sylvan home. All ages and abilities are welcome. Those who do not have snowshoes may borrow them from the Sylvan Lake Visitor’s Center for free, but only a limited number of snowshoes are available.
Following the hike, join us by a campfire to toast the night and the full moon with hot chocolate. Expect to walk for about an hour to an hour and a half on a relatively level path. Participants are encouraged to dress in warm layers and bring water and a flashlight or headlamp. Reserve a spot or obtain more information by calling (970) 328-2021.
