Before the first substantial snowfall, the Macon County Conservation District wants the public to know their services and parks that remain operating with family-friendly activities. Cross-country skis and snowshoes are available for rent to be taken on the many trails that traverse through Rock Springs Nature Center.

Alysia Callison, director of program services for the MCCD, says beginners and experts will have a good time on the trials.

Callison says those venturing out on skis will be equipped with the proper information to find trails that suit their skill level.

For a lower-impact option, Callison suggests snowshoe hikes, which offer a wonderful way to immerse yourself in nature without the effort required to stay in motion on skis.
