Staring Lake Sledding Hill
14800 Pioneer Trail

The 700-foot hill opens in December (start of school winter break) and remains open until late February, depending on weather. Bring your own plastic sleds! Sleds with metal runners, skis and snowboards are prohibited. 

There is no tow rope at this facility, but you can warm up at the warming house between trips down the hill. The facility is supervised.

The sledding hill is located on the north side of the warming house.

Used as an off-leash dog area during the spring, summer and fall this area serves as a beautiful place for cross country skiing in the winter. The trails are groomed by Eden Prairie High School after each significant snowfall and available weather permitting.
