News and Reports:
When traveling on lake trails this season, be aware of the new access lights throughout Vilas County. 2, on both sides of the trail, flashing a red/white/green light during hours of darkness. This is your guide that the shoreline is there, and the exit of the lake trail is there. Also, a reminder that the State of Wisconsin has a 55 MPH speed limit at night on all trails, and lakes. Please adhere to this. At that speed you are driving beyond your headlights. We want you all to be safe and come back to visit us again.

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!!!
