About
National Forest
Umpqua National Forest
Walt Haring Sno-Park is conveniently located 5 minutes northwest of Chemult, Oregon. Known for the Chemult Sled Dog Races the third weekend of every January, Walt Haring offers multiple snowmobile and nordic ski trails. The trailhead, elevation 4,800 feet, sits on the eastern edge of the Cascade Range, serving up cold, powdery snow and crisp, sunny days. It’s a lively ride on your snowmobile to pristine Miller Lake, just 12 miles from the Sno-Park. The snowmobile trail clearly connects to a larger network of trails. The multiple cross country ski trails are groomed sporadically by volunteers each winter. Groomed or ungroomed, they offer a classic skiing experience. The generally easy trails cut through a pine plantation and mature ponderosas. Two hilltops, one beginner and one moderate, offer views of Mount Thielsen and surrounding peaks. The trails are usually covered with snow from mid-December through mid-March. Campground : Campers are welcome at Walt Haring year-round at any of the 10 campsites. The four vaulted toilets, at Walt Haring Sno-Park, receive year round maintenance. However, the trailer dump station and potable water are available only during the summer time. You can also use the picnic tables and fire grates for picnicking and relaxing. The spacious, log-style warming hut offers shelter, a wood stove, and benches on a first come, first served basis. Walt Haring is often used for hunting camps in the fall. For more information on the Walt Haring Sno-Park, contact the Chemult Ranger District (541) 365-7001.

Keep going
This is probably a great spot for those looking to take off on the nearby dirt roads. During the summer, the actual site is basically a huge asphalt lot right next to the highway with access to a few pit toilets. I would recommend it only for a quick overnight if everything else nearby is full. If you have more time, it’s worth driving further down the gravel road to Miller Lake, much more quiet and scenic.
Nice Sno-park campground off 97 near LaPine
We stopped by this sno-park campground in early April to check it out for future reference. Since the snow season it was over it was completely empty on Easter weekend. The oat box was taped shut but vault toilets were open and well-stocked. There was still a little snow on the ground but campsites were nice. Nice network of cross-county trails and large parking lot. Good AT&T cell reception.

Quick overnighted on flat asphalt, open sky is ok. ADA friendly. Including a couple camp spots for tent ADA accessible to. Restrooms ADA. Good gazing, dark skies. Can hear Hwy 97. Trails nice for morning jog. I wouldn’t want to stay more then a quick overnight unless it was winter for snowmobile fun.
