Cooper River Snowshoe — Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022

We did not snowshoe the Cooper River. We walked the Salmon la Sac campground loop and the Cooper River runs right by here, so it was the closest thing in the WTA library. This makes a great walk this time of year. It is groomed and quiet on a weekday. I should have brought snowshoes because we occasionally, like 50 times, broke through a few inches or a little more, which is very irritating. We saw two other people on the loop who were smarter that we were because they had snowshoes. The rivers here pretty much surround the campground, so we were in sight and sound of water the whole time. This winter has had both ridiculous snowfall and a ridiculously long sunny dry spell around here. Today was brilliantly sunny and warm for February, and we’ve had a lot of that. For this loop you park a quarter mile or so before the campground on the road where the signs tell you to. A Snopark is needed, unless you are lucky and don’t get checked. The loop takes and hour or so, and is quite enjoyable.
