Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe Saturday

The public is invited to cross-country ski and snowshoe this winter at Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve in eastern Jasper County.

The clinic, led by Jasper County Conservation staff, will be from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Both beginners who wish to learn how to ski or snowshoe and the more advanced who wish to sharpen their skills on the trails are encouraged to attend. A limited number of snowshoes, skis and boots in all sizes will be available for a $10 equipment fee or participants can bring their own equipment.

Another event is scheduled for Feb. 13. The clinics will only be held if there is enough snow cover on the ground. Call JCC at 641-792-9780 or check our Facebook page online for updates.

Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve can be reached by driving north off of Exit 179 (Lynnville exit) from I‑80. The preserve entrance is reached by going another mile east on the gravel road Jacob Avenue. A warming shelter is available at the preserve.
