About the Park
Winter dog outings near Bend often point toward Wanoga, a sno-park on Cascade Lakes Highway with dog-friendly trails alongside its sledding hill and tubing area. Nordic ski trails and snowshoe loops fan out from the site, and a warming hut and fire pits help between laps. This is national forest land rather than a fenced dog park, and dogs share the space with sleds and skiers, so leash judgment matters. Posted use runs dawn to dusk. Check the Forest Service website for winter parking permit requirements and for which trails allow dogs before you go, since rules shift with the season.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Wanoga Snow Play Area Sno-Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
