Snowmobiling
Idleglen is located 4 1/2 miles up County Road 4, off of U.S Highway 34. Snowmobiling is allowed when there is at least 6 " of snow and when such activity will not damage natural resources. Once conditions are met, the gates on the Stillwater Pass and Kawuneeche Roads will be opened to over-the-snow travel. The snowmobile season is generally between later December (when snow conditions are met) and April before the snow melts, but never before November 15th nor after June 15th. Snowmobiling is allowed in other areas of the Sulphur Ranger District. For more information, contact us.
