Great place for Winter activities including snow tubing, Cross Country skiing and down hill skiing. There is also a small sledding hill next to the swimming pond on the north side of the park. All the employees who I have interacted with are great, very professional and polite as well. Ski Chalet is great for gathering your friends and family, warming up near the fireplace and concessions available at posted times as well. I would highly recommend this venue for my winter activities. Also you can hike along the trails with your friends, family and dogs too.

Love this place! Tubing, snowboarding, skiing, cross country skiing! We did the snow tubing and they had 10 nicely groomed lanes and even at max capacity there was not that long of a wait. Easy to go online and reserve your two hour time slot which is plenty of time. Staff was friendly and helped give a push to start off if needed.

What an amazing place to take beginners to learn! $20 lift tickets and $22 rentals, SCORE! We went on a Saturday during Christmas break and there were no lines! Everyone working here was super friendly and nice. Only thing missing were some chairs/benches outside and a fire pit. Could really go for sitting outside in the sunshine by a nice fire pit for a little break.

We had a blast at the elm creek winter recreation area! They have a large warming house which is where you can buy tickets, change or warm up. We did tubing and despite it being super busy, the staff did an amazing job keeping the lines moving, which is great when you’re with impatient 6 year olds. Will be going back next year for sure!

How did I miss this place? I went with a group from my yoga and Tai Chi practice. Amazing sledding. We were able to go down in groups of 5-8, which made it even more fun. Bring sunglasses on bright days as the snow gets blinding. The lines went quickly, and the people and sled mover allowed us to get back up the hill quickly. It's a great core workout trying to keep your balance as the tread can be bumpy. Signing up on the website is a breeze as well. There is overflow parking with a shuttle to the main building. The line back can get long, but it's a beautiful mile walk back if you don't want to wait. Can't wait to go back next winter.
