With school canceled and a snowstorm taking over State College, being stuck inside can get boring fast. To help you make the most of the snow, we’ve compiled a list of the best places to go sledding around campus and downtown State College. Whether you’re looking for a thrill-seeking hill or a more laid-back slope, we’ve got you covered.

HUB Lawn

This classic spot is always a reliable choice, with plenty of people usually around. Whether you’re a seasoned sledder or trying it for the first time, the hill offers options for everyone. You can start from the top for a longer ride or stay closer to the bottom for something more relaxed.

Shortlidge Rd.

With fewer people on the roads, this spot is a great choice. The hill is perfect for sledding, and it’s not something you get to do every day. Watch out for vehicles (please).

Old Main

Similar to the HUB, people will always be here. It’s a classic Penn State landmark that’s nice and easy, but still perfect for sledding. It also offers a great photo op.

Sowers St.

For those downtown looking for the perfect steep hill, this is your shot. Located right near Insomnia Cookies, this spot offers a thrilling slope for adrenaline seekers. It’s usually less crowded, but you’ll definitely need to watch out for cars; still, it delivers a great rush.

Being Pulled By A Car

Can’t pick a spot? Have a car pull you and your friends around for a different kind of winter fun. Wanting something a little faster? This is the perfect option for you.

The Arboretum

Those on campus at North and East Halls always have the option of the arboretum. With scenic views and a solid hill, it’s the perfect balance for some fun.

Parking Lot Of D.P. Dough

Similar to Insomnia, this is a perfect downtown spot. With so much snow coming down, students have even been making their own slopes. Not only do you get to be close to the comfort of your own home, but you also get to enjoy a personalized sledding adventure.

That wraps up our list of the best spots for your sledding adventures. Grab your sleds, storage bins, suitcases, cardboard, trash bags, or even a lunch tray, and hit the snow! Just remember, sled at your own risk, and have fun out there, folks!
