After we finally got some substantial snow for the first time in years, I’ve decided to re-reun my post from 2016 on where the best sledding is around here, assuming/hoping we get more snow this winter:
A good blow of snow is in the forecast for this Friday. And if it is strong enough, you might be looking for a place to sled. But if you’re new to town, you might not know the best sledding hills. GM will help you out (at least for areas in and around Georgetown).
Probably the best location in Georgetown proper is the hill off the north side of Montrose Park (seen above). It’s fairly steep. The only tricky part is avoiding the giant tulip poplar that stands at the bottom of the hill. Steering ability is a must here.
The hill off of Reservoir Rd. just west of Georgetown Hospital also gets some use on snowy days. It’s not nearly as steep as the Montrose Park hill, but it’s much longer (if you can get your speed up).
For little tots, even the meager dips near the northwest corner of Volta Park can be enough. It may depend on the snow quality whether you’ll actually even get going at all there.
Beyond Georgetown, GM hears that Battery Kemble Park off Chain Bridge Rd. in Kent is a very popular spot. (ed. to add: I can say for a fact this is a great hill, albeit rather crowded)
Anyone have any other suggestions?

The P Street “beach” hill (off of east side of the P Street bridge between P and O Streets) is fairly steep but watch out for the trees in some spots. Avoid using using any kind of blow-up raft or sled there, because you might end up airborne and land in the Rock Creek.
