Lake Wenatchee State Park Sno-Park Sled Hill

The Lake Wenatchee State Park Sno-Park offers a gradual and groomed Sled Hill. The Sled Hill is in the snow-covered space over an access road, groomed each day to provide a smooth gliding surface. A walking path gets formed on the shoulder of the road so that bystanders and walkers are separated from the sledders, while also keeping boot ruts out of the smooth snow surface. There is no tow rope or such, so this is old fashioned sledding: walk to the top, sled to the bottom, repeat. From the hoots and hollers of the kids sledding down the hill, it was apparent that old fashioned was good fashion.

To get to the Sled Hill, enter the Lake Wenatchee State Park south section from SR207 south of its intersection with SR209. Follow the signs to the Sno-Park, and be sure to have your paid Sno-Park pass displayed since park rangers were frequently patrolling and checking. The Sled Hill is located a short distance from the second Sno-Park parking lot that you come to (nearest the lake), and there is a sign on the non-lake side pointing over a small rise to the Sled Hill. The hill itself is the snow covered road, so don’t walk up beyond the road looking for a regular “hill”.
