Punderson State Park Sledding Hill Guide
Punderson State Park Sledding Hill
Punderson State Park Sledding Hill is one of the premier hills in Northeast Ohio for sled riding and snow tubing. It is open to all visitors (not just those who stay in the park) during the winter when there is enough snow on the ground and the winter chalet is operational.
Visitors can rent a tube or bring their tubes or sleds when visiting the sledding hill.
If you would like to rent a snow tube, then be aware of the following:
- It costs $5 for one hour (and you can only use it for one hour).
- You can not only go down the hill via three slopes, but a tow rope will bring you up the hill, making it perfect for families with little children or those unable to walk up the hill.
- You will want to get to the Punderson winter chalet 30 minutes before operating hours. There are only approximately 25 snow tubes for rent, and they typically sell out right away (no matter the day).
If you plan on bringing your snow tube or sled, then be aware of the following:
- There is no charge for using the sledding hill and no time limit.
- You cannot use the tow rope and must walk up the hill. You can use two of the five slopes.
- You can arrive whenever you want as you will not have to worry about operating hours.
Expert Tip
No matter when you go to the Punderson State Park Sledding here, you will have a blast. But to take advantage of this fantastic experience, you should:
- Arrive 30 minutes before the Punderson State Park winter chalet opens, or bring your sled or tube. If you miss an opportunity to rent a snow tube, you must wait at least an hour for the following reservation.
- Dress properly. The sledding hill is up high and in an open area, and wind can quickly pick up, causing the wind chill to drop soon. Warm clothes, snow pants, gloves, hats, and boots are highly recommended.
