OHIO, USA — Snowfall can mean a lot of things. One of the most popular is getting a day off school. Taking a break from the books, you can always rely on sledding instead.
While Metroparks Toledo has a lot to offer when it comes to snow-covered sledding hills, there are also hidden gems across the area that are perfect for whatever form of sledding is your favorite.
When you hit the hills, be sure to send us your photos by using the free WTOL 11 News app's "Near Me" or by texting 419-255-1100 with your name and favorite spot.
