Fish Lake Sno-Park the Forest Service's write-up

The Fish Lake Sno-Park is adjacent to Fish Lake Resort, which has cabins, cafe, and a store. Please note that access to the snowmobile trails from Fish Lake Sno-Park is through Fish Lake Campground.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

You must have a valid Sno–Park permit displayed near the lower left corner of the windshield of your vehicle if you park in a designated winter recreation parking area (Sno–Park) between November 1 and April 30. Oregon’s Sno–Park Program is funded entirely by the sale of Sno– Park permits. The program provides funds for snow removal in Sno–Parks and enforcement of the permit requirement. Permits are sold at all DMV offices and by permit sales agents at various resorts, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets. Sales agents may charge an additional service fee for each permit they sell. There are three types of permits:

An annual permit ($25.00/year)

A 3-day permit ($9.00/year)

A one-time, daily permit ($4.00/day)

CHAIN AND TRACTION TIRE REQUIREMENTS

When you travel in winter conditions, you must carry chains or traction tires in or on your vehicle, and must use them, when required by the signs posted . Under some conditions, four-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles may be exempt from the requirements to use chains.

For more information on Oregon’s chain and traction tire requirements, go to Oregon Department of Transportation travel web page, Tripcheck .

Summer Home Sno-Park the Forest Service's write-up

The Summer Home Sno-Park is a small plowed area off of State Highway 140 near Fish Lake. It is primarily used by Nordic skiers, but occasionally snowmobilers use this facility, as well. It is a road junction that is plowed of snow by Oregon Department of Transportation and is not a formal parking area.

Water and restrooms are not available. Summer Home Sno-Park is for motorized and non-motorized enthusiasts, but mostly caters to Nordic skiers and snowshoers. As this is not a formal, constructed Sno-Park, parking is limited. There is enough room for approximately eight vehicles, but less if trailers are present.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
