This site is a large paved parking area, with ample room for large groups, RVs and trailers. There is a toilet located in the center of the parking area and an information kiosk with trail maps at the trailhead on the west side of the parking area. There is also a warming hut in this area for skiers and snowshoers in the winter. Provides access to: * Central Oregon snowmobile trails (winter) * Edison nordic ski and snowshoe trails (winter) * Edison Butte OHV Trail System (summer) * Edison-Lava mountain bike trail (summer)
From Bend, OR: Travel 19 miles west on Cascade Lakes Highway (46), then 4 miles south on Forest Road 45.
Great trails for snowshoeing. We got there on a Saturday morning at 9:30 a m. and there was still plenty of parking. We did the short and long loops one day, as well as the long loop of the Tesla trail a second day. This sno-park allows dogs! We will definitely go back.
Great little park to home with dogs, everywhere we went snowshoes weren't needed. Dogs loved it
Well marked snowshoe, cross country, and snow mobile trails. We were amazed how quiet our snow shoe was even with all the snow mobile trailers in the parking lot (but it was a Friday). The snowshoe trails have a good mix of up and down so aren't to hard but still a good workout and beautiful.
Visited Edison for the first time last week and found it to be a great snowshoe trail and very dog friendly. The trails are well marked, had great scenery, with some good terrain changes. You had some smalls dips and rises, which made for a nice challenge without being too difficult. There is the harder Tesla trail which we haven’t done. Highly recommend for snowshoers with dogs because there are no bike or skiers on the same trails
