Best for February

Where to propose in February

148 of our 155 spots are open in February. The 7 we know are shut for the season are named below and left out of the list rather than recommended to you anyway. 3 more carry a closure note we can’t pin to a month — they are in the list and marked, not vouched for.

Shut in February

  • Craggy Gardens, Blue Ridge Parkway MP 364 — Seasonal closure: December–March. The Parkway gates this section for ice and snow through the winter — the National Park Service posts closures in real time rather than to a calendar, and MP 364 at around 5,500 feet is among the most frequently shut stretches. Our call, not a published date: treat the winter as closed and check the map before you build around it. (https://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/roadclosures.htm)
  • Eagle Tower, Peninsula State Park — The tower is shut for roughly half the year: "Eagle Tower is open seasonally from approximately May 1 to Oct. 31" and "visitors can expect the tower to always be closed in the middle of winter" because frost makes the ramps and stairs hazardous (https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/peninsula/tower).
  • Lake Michigan Overlook, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore — The driving approach closes for roughly half the year: "The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is open to vehicles seasonally. Generally: late May until late October. During the winter and spring, the drive is open for hiking and walk-in recreation during the vehicle closure." (https://www.nps.gov/places/000/pierce-stocking-scenic-drive.htm) — off-season you can still reach the overlook, but on foot over a 7.4-mile loop road.
  • Bridal Veil Falls & the Telluride box canyon — Seasonal closure: December 1 - April 30.
  • Sterling Pond, Smugglers' Notch — Smugglers' Notch State Park Season: "Third weekend in May through the second Monday in October." — https://vtstateparks.com/smugglers.html (the VT-108 road through the notch is not maintained for through traffic in winter)
  • Mount Greylock summit — "Auto Roads to the summit open for the season May 16 through October 30, 2026" — https://www.mass.gov/locations/mount-greylock-state-reservation (outside that window the summit is reachable only on foot or by snowmobile)
  • Whiteface Mountain summit, Veterans' Memorial Highway — A seasonal toll road. It does not open until late spring and closes for the winter; ORDA publishes the year's opening and closing dates, and they move with the snow. Confirm before travelling.
