Historic sledding hill under contract for purchase

The Pine Street sledding hill could soon be back in operation.

Friends of the Kaniksu Land Trust are under contract to purchase the historic sled hill in order to allow the community time to fundraise for the eventual purchase of the property, land trust officials announced.

Set along Pine Street Loop, this parcel includes 48 acres of forest, meadows, a large pond, and structures associated with this historic homestead. The most notable feature is the large hill that has served as a community recreation site for a half century.

KLT has already received contributions toward the purchase of this historic property, giving the land trust a great kick start, and now has 18 months to complete the fundraising effort.
