Back in 2016, The Lasso identified the five best sledding spots in Falls Church. We updated the article this year to create an absolute and ultimate list. Snow will (hopefully) be here sooner than later. The DMV could be in for “the snowiest season in at least five winters,” according to The Washington Post. With that said, it is important to us that everyone is informed of the best sledding spots around town.

Cherry Hill
Behind the community center and playground, there is a hill ideal for kids, away from roads and one of the safest spots for sledding this season. Despite it being a bit of a walk for most people, once you get there it is definitely worth it!
Lemon Road
From the front of the school, Lemon Road Elementary may seem very bland, boring, and not exciting whatsoever. However, once you drive to the back of the school you will see a giant wide hill that is perfect for sledders. Make sure to watch for your surroundings, as people zip down at tremendous velocity. Lemon Road is one of the most popular sledding spots in the Falls Church area.
Mt. Daniel drive
Anyone who went to Mt Daniel remembers the massive hill leading up to the elementary school. It provides an ideal sledding spot as long as you don’t go speeding directly into the street below it. So if you can stop in time, it is one of the best sledding spots.
Hill(s) on Poplar Drive
On the base of the intersection with Poplar Drive and Timber Lane, you can see that there is a gargantuan and intimidating hill. Even better, there are two sides to the hill that are both very steep and very long.
