Nothing says "snow day" like gathering up the kids and heading to the nearest sledding hill for hours of winter fun. In the White Lake-Highland area, one of the most popular sledding spots is at Kensington Metropark in Milford - in fact, it was even included on a list of best hills by CBS Detroit. Not on the list, but popular in the area, are the hills at Indiant Springs Metropark in White Lake.
