Where to Find Winter Trails in Central Oregon
Central Oregon is for the adventurous. When the temp drops below freezing and there’s snow on the ground you can guarantee that we’d rather be out playing in it then pent up inside. And we feel lucky here in Central Oregon to be surrounded by so many extraordinary wilderness areas that provide almost limitless opportunities for an outdoor adventure.
Two of our favorite and easily accessible ways to experience the beauty of Winter in Central Oregon is by bombing the trails on a fat tire bike and exploring the wilderness by snowshoe. If you’ve not made your way into the blanket of white yet this year, what are you waiting for? There is a trail for all experience levels. Find your trail from the list below. Winter won’t last forever.
