Meet the( Snowshoe) Maker
Maine Guide Snowshoes are handcrafted in Maine, built for durability and performance in harsh conditions. Used daily by Maine Guides, foresters, Game Wardens, and more, these snowshoes are designed with high-quality craftsmanship. The snowshoes are laced with High-Performance Polyester Double Braided rope, which is UV and abrasionresistant, unaffected by cold, and doesn ' t stretch or sag. This synthetic material requires no maintenance and is popular due to its durability and eco-friendly nature, as it contains no animal products. Custom options include a traditional rawhide lace upon request.
Maine Guide Snowshoes offer two tail options: a long tail for better flotation in open fields and trails, and a rounded tail for easier navigation in woods and brush. Their snowshoes, such as the Sportsman and Modified Bearpaw, are versatile, offering great flotation while avoiding snagging in trees. Whether you ' re trekking in fresh snow or packed trails, these snowshoes are reliable and built to last.
Proceeds from snowshoe sales support the Pine Grove Program, which offers free outdoor adventures for veterans and first responders. The company is family-owned and operated by Bob and Andrea Howe, who are dedicated to providing high-quality snowshoes and exceptional customer service.
