On one side, the hill is a nice, easy slope for younger kids. On the other end of the hill, it goes nearly straight down. At the steepest end, there is a dumpster at the bottom. Hitting it could badly injure, or kill you. |

Directions: Spot off Brownsville Road called “Sunny Slopes.” Comments: There are 2 hills at this location. Parking at the top of the big (long) hill and across the road from the (short) side hill. There is a manure/hay mix pile at the bottom to keep sledders from going into the woods at the bottom of the hill (CAUTION: the manure can freeze making the pile nearly as hazardous as the trees). |

Directions: Runs are part of 4th and 5th holes of Doylestown Country Club, 401 Pebble Hill Road & Green Street. Comments: Could be the best sledding hill in SEPA. Being the son of a long time member, it is accepted that the public sled here. Park on Golf Course View Drive or in lot of OLMC School when there are mega crowds. There are 2 basic runs here. The left one which is steep but shorter has man made moguls to content with. On the back side of one in particular is a 5-6 foot drop. When it's packed down...big time air. The other run to the right is wide open, longer and has a sand trap at the bottom. Exiting this trap one faces a 3 foot drop at maximum speed. Lips are built up on both of these features and when it's slick and hit right there could be pain! |
