Your news: Spring Valley snowshoe rentals available

Experience the winter landscape on snowshoes!

The Schaumburg Park District's Spring Valley Nature Center has snowshoes available for rent throughout the winter months for exploring the beauty of the snowy landscape.

Snowshoes may be rented for use at Spring Valley when there is at least four inches of snow on the ground, or taken off-site to be used elsewhere. Snowshoe novices are asked to view a short video in the Nature Center, which illustrates proper use of snowshoes and technique.

Rentals are available between the hours of 9 a.m.-3 p.m. daily. The rental fee is $3 per pair for three hours and $6 per pair for the day. Snowshoes may also be rented at the daily rate for trips to snow country. Daily renters must provide a $50 check or leave a credit-card number as deposit. Special rates for scouts and other youth groups are available on weekdays after 3 p.m.

Spring Valley, a 135-acre nature preserve located at 1111 E. Schaumburg Road, has over three miles of trails.
