Even in the Columbus area, known for its flat landscape, quality sledding peaks aren’t difficult to locate if you know where to look.

State parks boast some fun sledding opportunities as well, said Jason Meyers, park manager at Alum Creek State Park. “It has a nice parking lot and it’s a fenced-in area,” Meyers said. “It’s a nice, easy slope to walk up and slide down. It’s a big hill meant just for sledding.” Delaware State Park also has a designated sledding hill, Meyers continued.
