Boy Scout Camp Sno-Park is a modest winter parking area on the west side of Oregon Highway 35 in the Hood River Ranger District. It sits about 4 miles up Highway 35 from its junction with US 26, and White River West Sno-Park is only about 200 feet to the north. It mainly serves the nearby Boy Scout Lodge, which is private, so its facilities aren’t available to visitors.

Facilities here are minimal. There are no restrooms and no drinking water, and the lot holds about 25 vehicles. Trails are not groomed, so expect natural snow conditions, and bring the water and supplies you’ll need before you arrive.
