Soon, snow will pile up around Mid-Michigan.  It's already happening in the Upper Peninsula -- Some areas received over a foot of snow in the last couple of days!

While it might be a few more weeks before Genesee County gets enough snow to blow, it's time to start preparing to enjoy winter on Michigan's best sledding hills in Genesee County.

Where can I go sledding near Davison, MI?

Davison has a couple of my all-time favorites. Tobaggan Hill (huge hill!) and Davison Hogbacks are near each other off Washburn Road.  These were the hills we always wanted to be on for heavy snow days.  Richfield County Park is a good spot, too -- Irish Road between Mt. Morris & Coldwater Roads.

What are the Hogbacks in Davison?

Where can we sled around Burton, MI?

In Burton look for Kelly Lake Park. You can see it from I-69.  Munson Street & Lapeer Road will get you there.  Davison Roadside Park isn't bad either --technically, that's in Burton on Davison Road just east of Belsay Road near Brookwood Golf Club.

Where can kids go sledding in Grand Blanc, MI?

Grand Blanc's Creasey Bicentennial Park is another favorite.  The giant hill you see as you drive in is fantastic when covered in snow!  Look for the park on Grand Blanc Road just before the I-75 overpass.

Swartz Creek's spot is Elms Park located at Yarmy Drive and Elms Road.  Don't worry, they keep the nearby dog park separate!

Montrose Barber Park has a medium size hill for sledding -- to be honest in that part of the county, snowmobiling seems like much more fun!  Find the park at Seymour Road and M-57 behind the township offices.  If you're closer to Clio -- the City Park off M-57 (Vienna St) and Clio Road is a winter favorite.

In the southern part of Genesee County, Linden County Park is the place for great sledding.  Look for it across from Clover Beach & Byram Lake.  Don't forget Holly Township Parks & Rec and Mt Holly for Skiing & Snowboarding.

Where can I go sledding around Flint, MI?

Finally, in Flint and Flint Township you have many to choose from:  Kearsley Park is one of the favorite places with a great hill... Thread Lake Park just south of I-69.  Mott Park is great for pulling the little ones on a sled.

Check out this Saginaw House that looks like it's from 'Home Alone'

This House in Saginaw Looks Just Like the One in 'Home Alone'

You'd swear this home on Michigan Avenue in Saginaw was the home used to film the movie 'Home Alone.'

It's not, of course, because that home is actually in the suburbs of Chicago.

According to the real estate listing, this Michigan home was built about 74 years before the movie debuted.

Inside the Spectacular $18M Walloon Lake Retreat in Petoskey

Consider it all Pure Michigan is the form of a home. This spectacular home situated on the iconic Walloon Lake is currently on the market for $18M making it the most expensive home for sale in the state. Although it shares those bragging rights with a rustic Alpena lodge, there is nothing rustic about this 14,000+ square foot home.

From the massive master suite with a drool-worthy closet to the lower level entertainment area with indoor golf, gym, gaming area, and bunk room/ theater room, the home has everything you can dream of. There is even a guest suite with its own kitchen area and private entrance. The outside is just as mesmerizing with a lakeside gazebo, manicured grounds, and a boat house for 2 nautical toys. Round it all out with a garage with space for 4 cars with its automatic lift and heated driveway.
