Snowmobiling
Snowmobiling
Pelican Butte
At 8,036 ft., Pelican Butte’s peak dominates over Klamath County. There is a trail from the base to the top allowing for great climbing, boon docking, winding through the trees and leisurely riding. From the summit, no matter which direction you look, you’ll have spectacular scenery: Crater Lake National Park, Upper Klamath Lake, Chiloquin Ridge, Mountain Lakes Wilderness, Lake of the Woods, Mt. McLaughlin and Mt. Shasta. The powder can be deep and challenging. It’s definitely worth the climb!
Crater Lake National Park
Snowmobile use is permitted at Crater Lake National Park on the North Entrance Road from the park boundary to North Junction, where the entrance road meets Rim Drive. Snowmobile use is limited to the unplowed roadway. The Crater Lake area is beautiful during the winter, but it can also be hazardous. Check current conditions at Crater Lake National Park, for avalanche danger, closed roads, and more.
