Phelps, Wisconsin

Reporter:Phelps Snowmobile Club
Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 10"-12"
Date of Report: March 6, 2026
Area Report:

Warm weather and sunshine are not our friends.  Trail conditions have deteriorated this week.  Bare road routes, crossings, and open areas of the trails.  Vilas County is still open.  Good snow can be found in the wooded trail areas.  Even if you are staying in town, trailer a little way can get some good riding conditions. Warm temps and rain tonight will not help either.  Hopefully more snow and cooler temps are coming!


News and Reports:

Please be aware that the hill on Corridor Trail 6 W is very icy and hard to traverse.  Watch the corners as they are very icy.  Stay safe and Ride Right!

Snowmobiling Information

Phelps is located in northeastern Vilas county,about 15 miles N.E.of Eagle River.in the heart of the Nicolet National Forest. We are away from the hustle and bustle of the mainstream, but not that far.

Corridor trail #6 passes within a block of town. Our trails are said to be the best around by both the locals and our many vistors. These trails will lead you to Eagle River, Conover, Land O’ Lake and the U.P. and Forest county to the east. Our nearly 40 miles of trails meander thru both national and private lands. These trails are groomed with a Sur-Trac by Snow Track.

We have many fine eating establishments (and beverages too) located on our trail system. There are also many motels and resorts to stay at while you are in our area.

ENJOY YOUR RIDE!!!
