Lava Lake Sno-Park
Located about four miles west of Santiam Junction on U.S. Highway 20, Lava Lake Sno-Park is lightly used. There are three loop routes open to cross-country skiers and snowshoers, and some shared use with snowmobile trails. The loops are mostly easy, but there are some challenging spots. One loop option takes you down to Lava Lake.
