Directions: Sledding hill at Franke Park. In order to find the hill, you must turn in off of Sherman Street, just north of Franke Park Elementary School, and south of the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. The main road in the park will fork, it is easiest to turn left. Follow that drive
until it ends. You will drive past a playground, and a huge field. You
will take the first right you see, and then just go straight! You will
go through some trees, and then past a BMX track, down a hill, and into
a parking lot. You will see the hill from there!
Comments: There are two sides to the hill. One side is smooth and fast. The other side will launch you airborne. This is the only hazzard, it's more scary than dangerous if you are careful. |

Directions: Pokagon State Park Comments: Inflatable sleds are highly recommended, as there are some wicked bumps on the hill. The toboggan run is also great fun. Just be sure to get there early. You often have to take a number and wait around a while to get your toboggan, and the line to the run gets longer later in the day. |
