Hiking the Bobcat Trail

From Walker Road, the trail abuts a series of beaver ponds and goes through woodlands before getting to a small stream crossing, and then enters a white pine forest. You'll then reach an open meadow leading to Ferris Road.

This is a great beginner snowshoe option, and could even be crosscountry skied with the right conditions.
