Directions: Sledding hill at Burlington Golf Course. Off hwy 61 go east on Sunnyside, turn north on Cliff Rd, turn east again on Florence Ave. Park at the end of Florence. Walk east 100 ft. and go north 500 ft. Comments: You will definately love this place. Not for the beginner, but it is safe. Very fast, long hill. If you like, there is a sand bunker on the bottom left to ramp. To the far right is a pond, the only hazard! As long as you don't aim for the pond you won't land nowhere near it! Very fun with bunny hills for kids if needed! Occasionally they use an electric lift to bring you back up! Almost like sledding in the Rockies!

Directions: Sled riding hill at Hickory Hill Park, located in the northeast part of the city. Access is a couple hundred yards
from south seventh avenue. Comments: The earthen dam side that faces north has a broad terrace in the middle thats a perfect place for a jump. The creek and manhole on either side at the bottom are far enough away, but one should be mindful of them.

Directions: Sledding hill at Kent Park. Kent Park is 3.5 miles west of Tiffin on Highway Six. Comments: Parking is at Bob White Pavilion. The pavillion at the top of the hill has a place for a fire. The hill faces West and has a small lake at the bottom. Sledders that make it over a maintenance trail about 575 feet down the hill can go over a drop-off and slide across the lake when the ice is frozen. Stopping at the terrace (maintenance trail) isn't difficult, as alot of sledders stop here naturally anyway.

intersection of Hiway 13 and The Highway 100 Marion Bypass. Comments: Parking is at Red Cedar Lodge. The county maintained a rope tow and the lodge was open for a couple seasons more than 30 years ago, but not any longer. Currently, theres a pretty nice warming shed with a place for a fire at the bottom of the hill. A grove of Pine provides a widbreak and a two sided hill. The hill faces NNE, has posted rules that disallows jumps, has no obstructions and is pretty long, wide and fast.
