Swampy Lakes Sno-Park, 16 miles west of Bend on Century Drive, offers one of the most developed Nordic trail systems among Central Oregon's sno-parks. Twenty-five miles of snowshoe and cross-country ski trails wind through snow-capped forest, connecting to two warming shelters along the route — a welcome respite on cold days. The terrain is well-suited for intermediate Nordic skiers and snowshoers looking for a half-day or full-day outing. Oregon Sno-Park permits are required and dogs are welcome on a leash. The trailhead parking area is plowed and typically accessible throughout the winter season.
