Snowshoe trails
The Marshall Lake trail system now features three dedicated snowshoe trails, all clearly marked on the map below.
- Stewart Trail Loop
- Begins at the start of Mackay Trail
- Climbs gently up to the Dacha Shelter
- Returns via a different route to rejoin Mackay Trail
- Borscht Warrior
- Starts at the west end of the lake, off Jolly Jack Trail
- Connects with Stewart Trail at a higher elevation
- Rick’s Not Here
- Branches off from Borscht Warrior
- Loops back to Borscht Warrior after about 0.5 km
These trails offer a peaceful and scenic snowshoeing experience — enjoy the hike!
Note: Maintaining and grooming our trail system comes with ongoing costs. We kindly encourage all trail users, including snowshoers, to support the trails by purchasing a seasonal membership. Thank you!
