Sphunge Island Sledding Hill

Sphunge Island Sledding Hill is a groomed winter sledding stop on Kabetogama Lake, with a small hill for younger children and a larger, steeper slope for more adventurous sledders. It suits a family outing if the trip across the lake is part of the fun; the winter access is a real commitment.

Start at the Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center Boat Launch, take the Kabetogama Lake Ice Road to the island, then follow Sphunge Island Loop to the north-side parking area. The hill is open only while snow and ice-road conditions allow. Check current park conditions before setting out; the lake route and access change with conditions.

The hill is unsupervised: keep children with an adult, leave space between sledders, and do not build jumps or moguls. Picnic tables and a fire ring give you a place to pause; bring your own sled and snacks.
