Family Fun at the NCCC! - Florenceville
2015 The promise of Spring’s arrival is enough to see anyone through a bitter winter! - Jen Selinsky Shiktehawk Walking/Hiking Trail Spanning 2.2 km along the Shiktehawk Stream, this walking/hiking trail exudes peacefulness and tranquility. This year round trail is the perfect location for an afternoon snowshoe hike...easy for beginners, but challenging enough for the intermediate hiker. Snowshoeing Snowshoeing is the fastest growing winter sport in the world (snowboarding is growing fast too, but not fast enough), snowshoeing is poised to become a monster of a market. The sport is easy to learn, virtually inexpensive (compared to other winter sports), poses little risk of injury and is a great way to exert energy during the cold winter months. One of the more appealing facts about snowshoeing is how it can help enrich a person’s health. Known to help maintain or improve cardiovascular fitness, the sport helps burn more than 600 calories per hour. Snowshoers can burn more than 45 percent more calories than walking or running at the same speed. So, whether you’re looking for an easy stroll through the woods or a challenge with hills, New Brunswick has hundreds of trails and parks that are perfect for snowshoeing. **Our Recreation Department has several Youth and Adult Snowshoes available for public use.
