While you’re at it – try out our geocaching and orienteering activities – fun for the whole family! Residents can book snowshoes for $5 a day per pair or $10 a weekend (Friday to Monday) per pair via eServices.
How to Rent:
- Weekend rentals are available by pre-booking only through eServices.
- Each pair of snowshoes costs $5.00 a day per pair, or $10 per weekend (Friday to Monday) per pair
- Rental booking will be open through eServices as weather permits.
- The Town also has an Adaptive Snow Sled for use! Residents wishing to use the snow sled for winter activities in Voisey’s Brook Park can contact Recreation Coordinator, Stacey Hanlon, at [email protected] for details. There is no cost to rent the adaptive snow sled.
Hours of Operation:

- Any unreasonable or unnatural damage to the equipment may result in a fee, at the Town’s discretion, up to 100% cost to replace the equipment.
Registration Overview:
- Registration takes place online through eServices and it is completed by time slot and snowshoe size (limited quantities available).
- For example, if you were to rent snowshoes for a party of three, you would select the time slot, then select which size snowshoes to add to the cart:
- 16/17 inch (children’s) – 40 to 80 lbs
- 19 inch – 50 to 90 lbs
- 21 inch – 80 to 120 lbs
- 25 inch – 110 to 160 lbs
- 28 inch – 150 to 190 lbs
- 30 inch – 160 to 210 lbs
- 36 inch – 210 to 260 lbs
- In this example, since you are renting three pairs for $5.00 each, your total would be $15.00
- Once you finalize checkout in your cart and pay for your rental, information will be sent to your email for details on pick up
- Pickups will occur from the Town Hall, located on 1119 Thorburn Road.
