Central Oregon Adventures Snowmobile Excursions
| Our customized snowmobile trips led by our professional guides, are definitely something to write home about. Our trips are NOT a 10 mile an hour trail ride (unless that�s what you are after). We limit our tours to six machines per guide to give you a custom ride. Our small groups allow for us to customize the trip just for your group. We stop at several snow play areas for you to experience all the freedom and exhilaration you can handle. Don�t waste your time trying to read the map to figure out where you are or where you want to go. We find that our tour machines come back to base camp with two to three times the miles than rental machines. Let our guides take you to all the SWEET SPOTS for the best views and play areas. More than six machines in your group? No problem, we�ll just put another guide with you. You can choose to stay together or split off according to different riding abilities and meet up at the various play areas. | |

Wanoga Sno-Park Sledding
| Wanoga Sno-park has come to the forefront as the most popular sledding hill in the area. The hill is perfect for the whole family and is certainly the safest alternative that is close to the city. The snow can be hard packed and very bumpy due to its heavy use, however, so an innertube will be a better choice than a rigid toboggan. The Sno-Park is equipped with a large warming hut that is perfect for breaking out a thermos of hot chocolate. There are also vault toilets, and the entire Sno-Park is dog friendly. |
