 Matt Werner of Lincoln holds on as he goed downhill on a sunny winter day at Eugene T. Mahoney State Park near Ashland at Interstate 80 exit 426. |
In winter Eugene T. Mahoney State Park trades in its green and brown dress of spring and summer for a fresh suit of white. And with it, the park's slopes lose their stubborn friction and become slick roller coasters, beckoning a colorful carnival of sliders and sledders intent on escaping winter's doldrums.
 Kara Pogreba of Lincoln looks for a soft landing spot after her attempt to use her sled as a snowboard goes awry. |
Mahoney Park offers three designated toboggan and sled runs equipped with snow cannons to add a man-made layer to the slopes when Mother Nature turns fickle. The park's craft center, located next to the runs, is a great place to warm up while enjoying a cup of hot cocoa.
The sledding season at Mahoney usually opens with the first significant snowfall. A park permit is required for vehicles entering the park. For information about snow conditions, special events and park amenities call (402) 944-2523.
