Reporter:Phillips/Park Falls Chambers

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: Very good

Date of Report: March 3, 2022

Area Report:

The trails in the Fifield/Pike Lake area are all open and groomed and in excellent condition As always, the heaviest traveled trail between the Pike Lake Area and Oneida County line get the most traffic and show it. Also as the sun is higher in the sky this time of year, the road routes are getting bare. Plan your trips to minimize travel over roads.

It was a busy week for snowmobiling around the area this past week. Trails continue to be in Good to Excellent condition area the Solberg Lake area. Open areas have been getting slushy when the sun comes out, but many of the trails in the woods are really in good shape. You may want to avoid the logging area on trail 102 between intersections 56 & 59 located northwest of Solberg Lk. All trails continue to be groomed as weather permits.

Prentice Bushbenders Trail report 03/02/22: Well the trails were really busy last weekend and with the warm weather they held up well. The groomer has been out everyday so the trails remain in overall good condition. Come out and ride while we can. Be safe and have fun.

Lugerville Chasers are hosting a Hospitality Day on Saturday, March 5 at the warming house located at intersection #52 on trails 121 & 141. Food (brats, hot dogs and more) will be served starting at 11 am until gone.

Heading south the trails are good in the section under tree cover. But the open areas are POOR. East trail 10E has every condition. Surprisingly the one way is pretty good. There are some spots on the north side of the trail heading into town that are very snirty. North & West same conditions. North has more undercover so it is better. Roads are pretty bare with some having some ice.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – March 2, 2022

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Hanging tough

Date of Report: March 2, 2022

Area Report:

Well folks, it’s getting to that time. ….Late season riding. Currently, the trails are good, with some thin corners and exposed roadways will be bare. Dirty snow at trail roadway intersections. Some bumps won’t be able to be filled all the way due to lack of base. Trails get “soft” with sunny days and warmer temps.

Now the good news….We are in March and still riding!! Hodags will be continuing to groom on a regular basis as long as temperature and conditions warrant.

The lakes are all marked and not showing any signs of slush. There are multiple roads across Boom Lake so use extreme caution when traveling on that route. The snow cover on the lake is low, so the ice fisherman can travel about anywhere so there can be truck tracks and / or plowed roads in multiple locations.

There is one trail closure on the Hodag Sno-Trails system: Trail H4 from Boom Lake to the intersection just north of River Rd. This is basically the “land” route to not running Boom Lake. The trail is closed at this point. We have been just notified that this is a permanent closure. Running the lake is the reroute.

Conditions will change quickly at this point. We will try to update as they change.

Oneida County trails could stay open until March 31st….conditions permitting. Time to ride!!

Also noticed several corners where sleds have lost control in an icy corner and have left the trail. Please ride right, stay right!

And when you meet a groomer, we will stop and shut down bright lights signaling the riders that it is safe to pass. If you are traveling on a freshly groomed trail, be alert for a groomer ahead.

Trails are on average FAIR. With that said there are all conditions out on the trails & the conditions change quickly. Whether riding north, south, east or west sections are GOOD particularly in the undercover areas & south side of road trails. POOR in the wide open area due to the evil sun. FAIR in the rest. Early morning & late evening there are icy conditions in corners. Corners also have blow outs. I call it ADVENTURE SLEDDING.

One Heading SOUTH through town past the Ice Castle grooming Trail Alt 13 south to the Three Lakes Trail connect.

Another groomer headed NORTH on Trails 10/13, these 2 trails run on the same section together all the way to the Conover Trail connect. Then headed west on 10/13 across the section that crosses the Wisconsin River bridge heading west. After crossing the bridge & at the Trail 10/13 intersection grooming Trail 10W & the Uncle Kent club trail.

On the way back from grooming the NORTH section trails groomers turned onto Trail 3 aka Manske that head east & connects to Trail 17N & Trail 1. Trail 1 takes you to the Eagle Lake Boat launch on the northside of Eagle Lake. Turned around & head back on Trail 1 to the 17N connect & back to the to the Groomer Barn.

Trail Report – : Antigo/Langlade County, Wisconsin – March 1, 2022

Reporter:langlade

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 3-8

Date of Report: March 1, 2022

Area Report:

The Langlade County snowmobile trails overall are in fair to good condition in both Zone A and B. Due to the lack of snow and relatively heavy trail use, there are thin spots throughout the trail system, mainly on the high traffic trails. Icy spots and corners are also present throughout and snowmobiles should use caution and slow down, especially on corners and bridges.

Due to planned construction activities; intersections 30 to 30A will be closed immediately.

The trail segment from intersection 93 south to Northwoods Inn is closed indefinitely.
