When this park isn’t operating as the ski and snowboard hill, Glen Eden, it is a playground for outdoor adventure, known as Kelso. In the spring, summer and fall, Kelso has an extensive network of trails that can be used for hiking or mountain biking, a new giant floating waterpark called Kelso Cove, and a Challenge Course that provides an opportunity for visitors to push their limits and reach new heights. Families can stroll down the stroller-friendly boardwalk around the lake, take to the water with a canoe, kayak, paddleboat or stand-up paddleboard or just enjoy an afternoon at the lifeguarded beach.
