Sledding/Tubing

2 boys carry their sleds at shingobee hills

If we get a really good snowstorm, you'll find me out at Shingobee Hills south of Walker, taking my first sled run for the season. I'll be screaming down the curvy side of the hill on my orange sled….going head first because it feels like flying. I'll lose my hat halfway down, and the new snow will fly up in my face, temporarily freezing my eyelids. I'll finally slow down in the flats at the bottom of the hill and then stand, look up, and realize I have a long climb back to the top. And I'm smiling. This is definitely a favorite winter spot with me, with a little historic flavor, a great trail system, wildlife, …..and yes, a fast steep sledding hill! Shingobee Hills is one of the best places you can bring your family for winter fun----   Mary Nordeen, Chippewa National Forest, Public Affairs
