I used to snowshoe here but I thought it was a little boring. That said, you can get used snowshoes at Outdoor Gear Exchange for a decent price. Check Craigslist or Facebook for better deals or maybe some estate sales. I used to go on golf courses that allowed it (BCC, Williston, Rocky Ridge, etc.). Now I just cross country ski those places.

As far as it being boring, I think of it as a tool for the purpose of enjoying being in the woods, not so much an activity in and of itself.

I mean that's just my take. I have gone on trails but when it gets icy I find it's easier to just take them off. To each their own I guess.

Oh yes, sure, one does not decide to go snowshoeing and then keep walking with snowshoes even if the conditions are such that it makes it harder to walk wearing snowshoes than with just boots or with it a studded grip strip strapped onto your boot.

Good job adding zero value to the discussion. At least I gave an answer to OP's question.

I thought I was building on what you said and agreeing with you. Usually people find it helpful and reassuring when someone else expresses agreement.

Some libraries offer free snow shoes to use too
