A snowmobiler makes turns on his snowmobile through a scenic meadow in the Central Oregon backcountry.

Snowmobiling opportunities abound in Central Oregon’s numerous sno-parks. West of Bend, Wanoga, Dutchman Flat and Kapka Butte sno-parks provide access to seemingly endless snowmobile trails. With nearly 600 miles of groomed routes, including 280 miles in the territory near Century Drive and Cascade Lakes Highway, Central Oregon is the perfect place for snowmobiling. Some snowmobilers enjoy climbing hills, slashing through powder or catching air, while others enjoy long rides, like the 50-mile route from Wanoga to Elk Lake Resort and back.
