Snowmobiling

Snowmobile use is permitted at Crater Lake National Park on the North Entrance Road from the park boundary to North Junction, where the entrance road meets Rim Drive. Snowmobile use is limited to the unplowed roadway.

To ensure protection of the park’s natural resources and to provide safety for all winter users, please comply with these regulations:

  • Snowmobiles must stay on the unplowed roadway.

  • Both headlight and taillight must be illuminated while the snowmobile is in operation.

  • Operators must carry a valid state registration for each snowmobile.

  • Maximum speed is 45 mph.

  • Operators must possess a valid state license or proof of state certification by an authorized state snowmobile safety officer.

  • Snowmobiles must be equipped with a muffler in good working order.

  • Wheeled vehicles are prohibited.

The Crater Lake area is beautiful during the winter, but it can also be hazardous. Check current conditions at Crater Lake National Park, for avalanche danger, closed roads, and more.
