Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – December 27, 2022

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 6-9 inches of snow

Date of Report: December 27, 2022

Area Report:

By mid week we should be partially open.

Hayward Sno-Mads Snowmobile Club and Musky & Sno Club clubs, trail and grooming captains will continue to do the major clean up with contractors over the next few days and they will follow through with groomers. A target date for the trails such as 15, 77, 31, 8, 3, 21, 5, 63, along with other connectors which would be in the town of Hayward to the Seeley Hills to the north and west towards Nelson Lake, east towards Round Lake to Spider Lake areas to Lost Land area to Moose Lake area to the Bayfield Co line should be cleared, opened and groomed by late Wed to Thursday. So riding the wooded trails from north of Round Lake to Bayfield (which is open) will we hope, be rideable this weekend.

Reports from Winter Huskies Snowmobile Club are that Tuscobia has the big debris cleared and cut. They are asking if any riders would like to ride and clean up branches and down debris, specifically from Winter to the Price Co line. A saw may be nice to have with. The trails that spur off of the Tuscobia have had lots of large trees bent down onto the trails creating lots of walls so they continue to work on those to make passable not just for riders but for groomers. There is not a target date on those to be ready at this time.

Lakes; Lost Land Lake and Barker Lake are staked, there could be down stakes from the snow. Crews are packing the Flowage Tuesday and Wed in hopes of packing that snow and allowing it to freeze to create more ice but at this time there was not enough safe ice to stake, they continue to check daily so we will update when we here. Other area lakes have similar reports, not yet enough ice yet and a lot of slush and water so even if there was enough ice it is very difficult to get through. Again, crews that have a lot of knowledge and experience are packing lakes and swamps safely during the day in hopes of creating/freezing more ice at night so please do not ride the lakes until they have been declared safe, staked and open.

These are the only updates we have so far, many crews are out on many trails clearing and we will continue to share all and any info as it comes in. Until then please watch for updates and always ride with caution while they clean up as well as after as there most certainly will be branches that will continue to fall over the next few weeks.

Trail Report – : Hurley, Wisconsin – December 27, 2022

Reporter:hurley@hurleywi.com

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12

Date of Report: December 27, 2022

Area Report:

Trail progress is going great! We have successfully crossed the beaver pond on 8 West, connecting trails 15 and 77. We have also bridged and passed the 2 trouble areas on 15a and 15 North of 15a. After finishing our rolling efforts yesterday of the 15-30″ of new snow, we are back to drags today with 3 rigs working all day and night. Hopefully by the week’s end we will be able to work on the snow bridging efforts of the remaining sections of the 13’s. Heavy traffic and warmer temperatures over the next couple days will definitely influence our work. As of now, all open trails are in Good to Great condition. Please watch for deteriorating conditions as the temperatures warm up the next few days and with increased traffic. If you see any low-hanging branches, please help us by cutting/breaking them off.
PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAILS!! We work very hard to keep these great trails open and safe for your enjoyment. Don’t ruin this by off-trail riding or going beyond areas fenced as closed.
RIDE SAFE, AND RIDE RIGHT. SLOWLY PASS ALL GROOMERS WHEN THEY SIGNAL FROM A STOPPED POSITION.

SNO-EAGLES
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
OPEN – EARLY SEASON RIDING

Not a lot of traffic on the trails. Expect to find branches down on the woods trails. Didn’t find any trees when I rode. Wide open trails like on Trail 10 north & west of town there was drifting from the wind. Some of the driveway crossings were plowed shut so watch for that. Trail 3 aka Manske Swamp is freezing up. Trail 17S heading to the Sugar Camp trails connect still has mushy spots, but safe to ride.

As for weather. This Wednesday the temps are going to pop up to the 30’s during the day & low 20’s at night. Weather guys are forecasting mostly cloudy. There is SNOW & sleet forecast. This will last through the New Year. Stay tuned. THINK COLD

Grooming in full force. The past nights during the high winds drivers have been focusing on trails in the wide open area to keep the drifting cleared & breaking through driveways to clear. With wind dying down, last night trails heading north, south & east were groomed. Here’s what was groomed:

Trail 10W/13N to the Conover connect
Trail 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Trail
Trail 13N aka Bauers Dam ALL were groomed
Trail 3N aka Manske Swamp
Trail 17N from 13/17 intersection to Trail 3N intersection
Trail 10/13 from groomer barn through town to Trail 10E
Trail 10E to include ALL the spurs – trail to Chanticleer, Granpa Grahm to Eagle Waters & 9 mile

As to the 2 lake trails Catfish & Eagle. Lots of SNOW drifting with slush pockets. Not marked. Not safe. NOT OPEN.

Two last reminders. Please no off trail riding. Also as you ride you might meet a groomer. They are big & can’t pull over for us. So pull over & let the groomer driver direct you. And oh ya give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!!!

Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!

See ya on the trails again real soon!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – December 26, 2022

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: Amazing

Date of Report: December 26, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

I went out on report patrol at 10:00, and ended up with 120 miles. Conditions are the best on our trails I have seen in three years.There are a lot of lower hanging trees on our club trails we could use some help with, as do a lot of clubs. Trail 17, the grade, is excellent. We did not groom a couple of days, but the trail is great – even up in the Powell Marsh. Trail 1., Stearns Lake Road, has a good layer of ice, and plenty of snow to bang on, and pull down. Trail 5 into the casino is great. F trail along highway F is good, and will get worked now that Keith and George fixed the negative power coupling on the falcon. No word on any lakes yet, so stay tuned on that. Lot of low branches, and some on the trail – please stop and toss them aside. But, no rocks or gravel poking out. Sled traffic was light this morning, but picking up. A lot of work was done this last week by a lot of great volunteers so we could open Friday. When we were selling raffle tickets for the Northern Hornshoes, a lot of people thanked us for the great trails, and the work we do. Thank your clubs, our sponsors, and our landowners. Ride safe. Mark
