Pop-Up Snowshoe Trek with BHHT
Pop-Up Snowshoe Trek with BHHT
March 3, 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
We had so much fun at our last Pop-Up Snowshoe Trek (and Mother Nature continues to be plentiful with the snow), so we've decided to schedule a few more events. Hope you can join us!
Looking to use your snow shoes?
Come explore our accessible trail at Hundred Acre Wood (in Brooklin) in all its winter glory!
Join BHHT staff for a beautiful, snow-covered walk on the accessible trail. Conditions should be great for snowshoeing, so bring your snowshoes, poles, and warm layers.
There will be no agenda other than to exercise, enjoy the fresh air, and share our love of the Maine winter.
Warm drinks will be provided.
Length: 1 mile (we plan on walking around the 0.5 mile accessible loop twice)
*This trail is rated as “easy”. Beginners are encouraged to attend and all ages are welcome! If you have questions about the trail and your ability to participate, please give our office a call at 374-5118.
**This event is outside and attendees should dress accordingly.

Pop-Up Snowshoe Trek with BHHT
Pop-Up Snowshoe Trek with BHHT
March 10, 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
We had so much fun at our last Pop-Up Snowshoe Trek (and Mother Nature continues to be plentiful with the snow), so we've decided to schedule a few more events. Hope you can join us!
Looking to use your snow shoes?
Come explore our accessible trail at Hundred Acre Wood (in Brooklin) in all its winter glory!
Join BHHT staff for a beautiful, snow-covered walk on the accessible trail. Conditions should be great for snowshoeing, so bring your snowshoes, poles, and warm layers.
There will be no agenda other than to exercise, enjoy the fresh air, and share our love of the Maine winter.
Warm drinks will be provided.
Length: 1 mile (we plan on walking around the 0.5 mile accessible loop twice)
*This trail is rated as “easy”. Beginners are encouraged to attend and all ages are welcome! If you have questions about the trail and your ability to participate, please give our office a call at 374-5118.
**This event is outside and attendees should dress accordingly.
