Bandit Springs Sno-Park and Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

reservation required

Bandit Springs Sno-Park is located off of Highway 26 and provides access to the most diverse network of cross-country ski/ snowshoe trails on the Ochoco National Forest.

The trail ratings range from Easy to Most Difficult and therefore offer great opportunities for visitors of any skill level. This sno-park is ideal for cross-country skiing enthusiasts who prefer easy access, decently maintained roads and few encounters with other visitors.

In the warmer seasons this trailhead can also be used for short day hikes or mountain bike rides which are perfect for stretching out the legs as a break from a long drive.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
