Sledding at a Nearby SNO-PARK

If you have your own sled or tube you can also play at the Lake Alpine or Spicer SNO-PARK areas. Please know that a SNO-PARK is a place to park you car with nearby snow. A portable toilet will be located near the parking area. There is no food service, tables or benches in the true sense of a park. Lake Alpine is often crowded with multiple user groups (lots of snowmobiles) on weekends. Spicer is normally less crowded. Stop by the Cross Country Center to pick up a California SNO-PARK permit and get more info. A permit is required for each vehicle parked at a SNO-PARK area from November 1 through May 30 of each year. Single Day Permits and Season Permits are available.
