About Redfeather Outdoors

One of the LAST snowshoe manufacturers who still handcrafts each and every snowshoe in the USA!

Base camp for Redfeather Outdoors is La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA, located in the heart of what is known as the Driftless Region, an area untouched by glaciation and a region that is renowned for its bluffs, coulees and the Mississippi River Valley. This is a part of the USA where rivers, streams, creeks, and bluffs are prevalent, and it goes without saying that lots of outdoors activity happens all the time. It’s amazing we get any work done at all!
