Hosted by the Superior National Forest and the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, these events require advance registration.

The Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness will provide snowshoes for a limited number of folks who need to borrow them. Registration is required to reserve snowshoes. Stargazing can be done near the parking lot for people who want to enjoy the night sky but are unable to hike.
