EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
OPEN – Fair to Good

Very busy weekend with lots of riders. Amazing what 4-5 inches of new SNOW can do! Trails have moved to Fair in open areas to Good in woods areas. As always best riding is out of towns. NEXT SNOW NEXT FRIDAY. Check out what was groomed below.

NOTE: Trail 10E out of Eagle River becomes a one way from the ERRA SPORTS ARENA all the way to Mikes Gas Station. It runs alone Hwy 70E. The south side of the trail is ONE WAY going EAST only. The north side of the trail is ONE WAY going WEST (back to Eagle River). Intersections are clearly marked with ONE WAY trail signs. Very dangerous to go the wrong way.

As to temps. For the next week day time highs will be in the teens with the exception of next Saturday. Temp bump up to low 20’s & SNOW. No totals yet. At night single digits tonight & then below zero every night until Saturday when SNOW moves in.

GTS Groomer app is a good place to see what was groomed. Last night nearly a full grooming listed below are trails NOT Groomed overnight.

Trail 10E – this is a one way trail on both side of Hwy 70E. This includes Trail 1 toward Chanticleer, GrampGrahm that heads to Eagle Waters Resort & 9 mile. Remember all Counties surrounding Vilas are now open.

Catfish Lake & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Stay by the barrels as there is no guarantee the rest of the lakes are safe. Lots of lakes have ice heaves so be safe & stay by the barrels wherever you ride.

Photos tomorrow! See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 9, 2025

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 2-8″

Date of Report: February 9, 2025

Snowmobile Information:

We had about 6″ of snow Saturday. It really helped to bring us back, but there was heavy traffic this weekend, so my report is about where it was. Hornshoe main trails will be groomed today thanks to our neighbors Cruisers and their Piston Bully. I had a check ride today. Groomer Don will groom our club trails tomorrow with our Kubota. Our main grade trail 17, is thin from Mattke Rd, to Frying pan lane, then thin up in the Powell Marsh. Those areas can be bypassed by riding Fence Lake to the south, and taking trail 23, River Rd, off of Flambeau Lake to the north. Raven Lake area is very good with a couple of icey corners. A caution flag goes out in this area if you go off the groomed trail, there is a substantial bank on the edges now. There are also rocks left over from the construction under the snow. Trail 5 into the casino is excellent. Trail 1, Stearns Lake Rd, and East Boundary, was excellent after the snowfall, and marginal at best after plowing. I wish they could leave us some snow on the sides but I understand homeowners squeak louder than snowmobilers. Trail 1 down from 51 to East Boundary was pretty good last night after all the Saturday traffic. With Oneida County open, F trail is getting heavier traffic, better in the woods, worn on some corners, and thinner out in the open. Our whole trail system has an ice base that is holding well where the sun can’t get at it. Lake trails are great.Forecast is for cold temps this week, and small chances of snow each day. I was really impressed with how well we held up, and will probably do an update for the weekend on Thursday. We have our annual Midnite Trail Riders from Champion Wisconsin ride here so Jay and I will need to go reconnoiter a plan of attack where to run them Thursday. Thank You. Mark

Area Report:

Our area received 3-4″ on new snow on Saturday. This snow will help in giving our equipment more to work with on the trails which will show better after a few days. Trails have been busy with sleds so expect some rough areas. Cold weather is forecasted through the week.

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 8, 2025

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 5-8”

Date of Report: February 8, 2025

Area Report:

We groomed the entire system on Thursday night. Some areas covered good, others were thin on snow. We also cleared some down branches along the way. Thank you to the sledders that stopped and cleared some along the way too. It is appreciated.

It is snowing today, looks like 2-3” of a wet heavier snow. We are planning on going out tonight to do what we can with this new snow. Temps are supposed to drop and stay cold next week with a chance of more snow Friday and Saturday.

Remember to yield to the groomers. Most I met on Wednesday did just that. Stopped off of trail for me to pass or waited for me to get to a spot where I could pull off. One thought he could ride on side of snow bank past me. Thought he was going to tip sled over and hit the plow on front of groomer. I know I would have won that battle. I was in the process of backing up to a junction where it aloud them room to pass. We will signal by killing lights or flashing brights to signal it is clear to pass. Ride Right, Ride Safe.

News and Reports:

Trail 12 from the RR grade TIN 732 to County K TIN 731 has ruts from ATVs. There isn’t enough snow to fill the ruts. We put signs at each end of the trail for Caution Next 1 mile and Rough Trail. Use caution when traveling this area.

The Cemetery Trail from TIN 724 to TIN 725, and south to TIN 727 at Church Rd is thin for snow cover. You will find a few bare spots, There is a hill between TIN 725 and TIN 726 at Lindberg Rd that was bare from sleds going up it. The swamp area did freeze up, so it is good to go.

To see where the Groomer is at, check out Groomer Tracker Half the cost of the app comes back to Conover Sno-Buddies to support grooming operations.

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: SLOW DOWN

Date of Report: February 7, 2025

Snowmobile Information:

Holy E O Meat Sweats Batman. We had the smoked sampler at Gresham Lodge. They smoke their own meat and they take on Lazy Ace. Wow, good stuff Maynard. OK, so I have about 700 miles in five days. Hornshoe trails are about the same as the last week.Thin, but solid. Watch 17. The rest is good. If you go north, it gets scary. There IS snow, but it is thin, and sugary. PLEASE watch your corners. It is icey. I see a LOT of sleds that are happy to be here, but not experienced with what we have. A LOT of sleds that blow out the corners, and slide across the lane, and even a lot of blowouts on the roads where they honk on it and the rear end blows out. Wow, a lot of sleds, and traffic, yesterday, and today. GREAT, to see the people, and the business, come in, but take it easy. I am NOT going to talk about the forecast. Ever watch the Muppet Show ? The two old guys in the balcony? ” Waldorf, you old fool, why do you keep telling these people it is going to snow?” ” Because I mess with their minds!” “At least they still have a mind! Hah!” 62 year old body, and a 12 year old mind. I try, but Mother Nature is an ornery beast. Mark

Oneida County opens today at 8am
Forest County open Saturday at 8am

No change in the trail conditions but the weather guys are predicting 2-3 inches of SNOW starting 2am Saturday morning. Snowing off & on Saturday ’til dark. Sure hope they are right this time.

20’s for highs today & tomorrow then teen or single digits during the day for the next week. Night time temps will drop below zero Sunday. Below zero every night for the next week. So what we have isn’t going anywhere.

GTS Groomer app is a good place to see what was groomed. Last night nearly a full grooming with the exception of:

Trail 10E – this is a one way trail on both side of Hwy 70E. Heading east on the south side is in good shape from the ERRA Sports arena all the way out. Heading west back to town has burn through & snirt in spots. So ride out east & swing over to Phelps or Three Lakes. Oneida County opened at 8am today. Forest County opens tomorrow, Saturday at 8am.
Heading west out of Eagle River no grooming overnight.
- Trail 70W toward St. Germain is hard frozen snow base with not much loose snow. Snirt on the high hill just before the connect to St. Germain BoBoen trails
- Trail 13S that connects to Sugar Camp trails that OPENED at 8am is snow covered for the most part. Few snirty spots. Pick up a map as there is a re route at the Sugar Camp connect
- Trail 7 aka Paint Ball Field is snow covered with some light snirt under the pine trees just before the connect with Sugar Camp at Hwy H. Sugar Camp trails are hard but good.

Catfish Lake & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Stay by the barrels as there is no guarantee the rest of the lakes are safe.

With Pond Hockey on Dollar Lake by the Chanticleer Inn trail 1 that crosses Eagle Lake may have congestion.

All in all it’s Adventure Sledding out there. Need SNOW but hey better than not ridin’ So….SNOW DANCE!!!
