Winter Recreation
Snowshoes are available to borrow from the Craters of the Moon Natural History Association for a suggested donation of $5 per pair from 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. daily. The 1 mile Snowshoe Loop Trail is marked with orange poles.
The visitor center is open daily from 8 a.m. - 4:30 pm. Please note that road access in the park is limited to the parking lot near the visitor center during the winter months. The scenic Loop Drive generally reopens to automobiles in mid-April after snow and ice have been cleared from the roadway.
The Lava Flow Campground is only accessible for snow-camping by way of a .25 mile snowshoe hike from the visitor center parking lot during the winter months. A pit toilet is availalble in the campground. The separate Group Campground is closed during the winter.
