State Parks: They’re not just for camping and hiking! Grab your saucer, toboggan or inner tube and head to the hills for some sledding fun at these state properties.
Kettle Moraine State Forest-Southern Unit
Venture to the Nordic Trail trailhead for a simple sledding hill, where you’ll also find a warming shelter and convenient parking.
Kinnickinnic State Park
The sledding hill at this northern Wisconsin state park is located near the Brown Trail parking lot.
Lake Kengonsa State Park
You’ll find a nice little sledding hill at the beach area with a parking lot close by if you need to escape the elements to warm up in your vehicle. After sledding, head to the Snowshoe Trail for 1.2 miles of hiking or snowshoeing.
Peninsula State Park
It’s not an official sledding hill, but the number 17 fairway on the park’s golf course features a steep hill for adventurous sledders. But be prepared — toboggans are not allowed, and children must be supervised by adults.
Willow River State Park
This park’s sledding hill is along the Green Trail, near the beach picnic area and nature center. Your best chance to catch some air on your sled is after significant snowfall when it’s routinely packed.
