A time-honored tradition, Ohio does sledding like nowhere else! With snowy weather on the horizon, now is the perfect time to grab your sled, a toboggan, a tube and your family. This will be a winter to remember!

Sledding Hills

With excellent access and plenty of parking, the designated sledding area at Wright Memorial Park in Dayton offers trails that range from bumpy to perfectly smooth. About 700-800 feet, this 40-degree hill is also situated in perfect proximity to the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park.

You can also rush down the snow-laden hill at Westlake Recreation Center Park or Fairfield's Harbin Park. Feeling adventurous? Catch the varying heights of three different sledding hills at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park in Galloway.

Head to another favorite tubing spot at Ohio's oldest ski resort: Snow Trails in Mansfield. This skiing sport serves area with 1,100 long tubing lanes! The best part? You don't have to carry your tubes back up the hill. Conveyor belts make it easy for even your little ones to go up and down the hills with ease!
