EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
OPEN
Good Condition
Below zero temps over the past few days make for great grooming! Eagle River Sno-Eagles trails are in great shape! Over the last 2 nights ALL of the 80 miles of Sno-Eagles trails have been groomed. There is SNOW cover most everywhere to include through town. Roads are ice covered & there are some bare spots.
Trail 10E from where I live heading east to connection with Three Lakes TL8 aka Kimbell Creek Trail or Trail 6 which takes you north to Phelps or south to Forest County are snow covered & Good with a few Fair areas. Few rough spots. If you like to ride without stopping both are great rides. A bit thin on 6 heading toward Phelps.
Going west on 10 toward Eagle River is snow covered as well. Few rough spots. Taylor Lake Rd just past the ERRA Sports Arena is icy with hard SNOW on the edge. Same for Pine Land that takes you to the Hwy 45 crossing & then to Bloom Rd crossing. Back on the trail to town 10 toward town is icy & rough all the way to the connect with 13 & onto the Grade. Lots of set chop in that area from all the traffic. The Grade to town is fantastic!
Heading through town all SNOW covered & in pretty good shape. After crossing Hwy G some chop at the beginning. Crossing Wisconsin River Bridge it is rough on the approaches on both sides. At the intersection of 10W/13N best riding is heading north on 13N.
17N along Hwy 45N is pretty good. Thin on the section from where you cross hwy & ride on the north side of 45. Some rough spots as well. Connecting to Trail 1 toward Eagle Lake is in Good to Fair. Eagle Lake trail is fine by the barrels. Some small moguls from the heavy traffic. Exit off the lake on the south side is moguled & rough. Not much to fix that as no grooming on lakes. Road section is pretty bare. Trail along Dollar Lake Rd is in Fair shape. 10E along Hwy 70 is in Good shape with a few sections that some groomer cut through on the edges. Didn’t ride Catfish Lake trail so can’t report.
Tad cold in the morning but all in all great riding! If you aren’t riding, why not? Temps heading up end of the week.
See ya on the trails!

Eagle River has long held the distinction of SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, and it’s a matter of pride that causes local clubs and businesses to work so diligently to maintain that title. Snowmobile fever becomes a way of life in our Eagle River winters, and the talk often turns to “picks”, “carbides” and performance. In fact, these snow machines seem to outnumber cars during the winter months.
Over 500 MILES OF GROOMED TRAILS connect the communities of the area, including access to major county and state routes. Trails wind throughout the area’s scenic forests, but frequently pass close to service businesses which can provide you with fuel and sustenance, shelter and refreshment. If you don’t have your own snowmobile, several dealerships will be happy to provide you with equipment during your visit.
