Kapka Sno-Park
Bend, OR | active | 1 to 4 hours
Kapka Sno-Park occupies one of the most scenically situated staging areas in Central Oregon, where the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway meets Forest Service Road 45 — a direct connection between Sunriver to the south and the Century Drive corridor to the north. The park provides access to snowshoe trails and snowmobile routes through high-elevation forest terrain. Its location between Sunriver and Mt. Bachelor makes it a natural midpoint stop and a quieter alternative to the busier sno-parks on Century Drive proper. An Oregon Sno-Park permit is required. The surrounding landscape offers expansive mountain views on clear days.
