Akan-Mashu National Park is renowned for both its forests and volcanoes. Why not experience both on this easy snowshoe tour? Take in the serene beauty of the winter forest to the fullest on snowshoes as you seek mud volcanoes known as “bokke”. Observing the bokke up close is like feeling the very breath of the earth. Along the way, you will discover exciting attractions, such as natural playground slides made of snow.

Sip a morning coffee while watching the sunrise from the very best spot to appreciate the beauty of Lake Akan and Mt Oakan. The crystal-clear air and frozen laketop create a dynamic scene of pristine winter beauty -- the start to a very special day at Lake Akan!

The forests of Akan are full of gushing springs! These woods abounding in clean water display a huge diversity of appearance. Walk along, and sometimes in, tiny streams. This tour of forest springs tells a playful story of wood and water.

Strap on your snowshoes and embark through the forest towards a silvery snow-covered plateau, where you will find unparalleled views of Penketo and Panketo, two of Akan’s most mystery-shrouded lakes. And of course, you should expect memorable encounters with wildlife and amazing mountainscapes along the way.

The Surly Ice Cream Truck is Surly's top of the line fat bike, and has been attracting many fat bikers for years. The components consist of Shimano SLX 1×11.
