With nearly 5 inches of fresh snow forecast for Central Park this Saturday, we’re taking advantage of this rare and magical moment to host a snowshoe walk in the world’s most famous park! ❄️🌲

Snowshoes strap onto the bottom of your boots and distribute your weight so you can walk almost on top of the snow. With snow-covered trees, quiet paths, and winter scenery, Central Park will be absolutely spectacular.

Here’s how it works:

  • We’ll meet at the Columbus Circle entrance to Central Park.

  • Your guide will fit you with snowshoes.

  • We’ll walk north along the Bridle Path to the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir (86th Street), then continue around the reservoir — approximately 2.5 miles total.

  • We’ll exit the park at 86th Street.

  • Along the way, your guide, Dave Cervini, will share stories and history of Central Park.

  • After the walk, those interested may head to a local pub for food and drinks.

About the walk:

The Bridle Path is mostly flat, but snowshoeing is more strenuous than regular walking and provides a solid workout.

Cost:

$75, which includes snowshoe rental and guide fees.
Please bring your own poles if you use them.

Coming solo?

Absolutely. About 99% of participants attend on their own, so you’ll be in great company.

What to wear:

Dress for winter conditions. Snowshoes or waterproof boots are required.

Cancellation policy:

This event is non-refundable unless canceled. The guide may delay the start time by up to two hours if weather or trail conditions require.
