Snowshoeing
We are conveniently located at the trailhead of the stunning lakeside Hyak Sno Park Trail. Additionally, we’re less than a mile away from Gold Creek Pond, a beautiful, flat snowshoe trail along the pond. A bit farther east, the Crystal Springs Sno-Park has a lovely hike marked with blue snowshoe trail signs for easy navigation. Lake Easton State Park also has some very nice trails for snowshoeing. These are all multi-use trails, and require a Sno-Park Permit for parking, which you can purchase online or in person at Hyak Sno-Park. They're also available at REI stores throughout the Puget Sound.
Here’s a Google Map of more recommended trails in the area. Some trails will require a pass.
Cross-country skiing
Our location is conveniently situated at the trailhead of Hyak Sno-Park Trail, a two-way, easy-rated trail stretching 7.6 miles one way from Hyak to Crystal Springs. Just a bit further east, Crystal Springs Sno-Park offers 4 miles of groomed ski trails with difficulty levels ranging from easy to difficult. Similarly, Cabin Creek Sno-Park features 6.4 miles of lower groomed trails with varying elevation changes to suit different skill levels. For those seeking a greater challenge, Mt. Amabilis provides a rewarding 10.6-mile trail with a 2,500-foot elevation gain. Lake Easton Sno-Park, located slightly farther east, has 3 miles of groomed ski trails as well. Please note, all these multi-use trails require a Sno-Park Permit for parking, which you can purchase online, in person at Hyak Sno-Park, or at REI stores across the Puget Sound region.

Beginner’s Guide to Showshoeing
What started thousands of years ago as an essential mode of winter transportation has evolved into a popular recreational activity.
Snowshoeing with Kids
Snowshoeing is one of the easiest and least–expensive ways for families to enjoy snowy winter days. Your kids don't need to be athletic or even outdoorsy to enjoy walking in snowshoes—but the fun of the activity will encourage both.
How to Cross-Country Ski
Other than sledding, few winter activities are as accessible as cross-country skiing (aka Nordic or XC skiing).
