With the arrival of recent snowfall, the Macon County Conservation District has announced that cross-country ski and snowshoe rentals are now available at Rock Springs Nature Center, as long as weather conditions permit.

The Nature Center caters to winter sports enthusiasts of all skill levels, with trails designed for both novice and experienced skiers. Rentals are open to anyone aged 5 and up, provided there is at least four inches of snow. Equipment is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and all rentals must be returned by 4:30 p.m.

Rental fees are $10 for a two-hour session or $20 for a 24-hour rental. Equipment packages include skis, boots, and poles, or a pair of snowshoes. Those opting for the 24-hour rental can take the equipment off-site to explore other locations.

Rock Springs Conservation Area is located at 3939 Nearing Lane on the southwestern edge of Decatur. Visitors can reach it via Route 48 or Wyckles Road, with directional signs guiding the way. Plenty of parking is available on-site.
