Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Monday, 1/17/22:
It’s 22 degrees out this morning with a forecast of 2” of snow starting tomorrow morning. After Tuesday, temps will be cooling down for the rest of the week.
Our groomers were out last night grooming 15N, 6E, 8W, and 2W. 8E and 15S were groomed early this morning.
We saw heavy sled traffic throughout the holiday weekend, but with daily grooming our trails held up pretty well. We’re still developing moguls on 15S by the afternoon and the inside of some our corners are getting down to the ice base. We sure could use some fresh snow.
Thanks to all who stopped in and supported us at yesterdays snowmobile club breakfast held at Gooch 2.
Enjoy our trails, be safe, and check for an updated report on Wednesday, 1/19/22.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – January 17, 2022

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS
January 17, 2022 – 6:40am 19 degrees – High of 23 today
Trails have all conditions. On average I’d rate as FAIR. There is GOOD & VERY GOOD too. The hard base of 7 inches +- that is frozen hard & holding. All thanks to the cold weather at night. There is loose hard SNOW in most areas but crunchy with not much moisture. SNOW depth is about 14 inches total There a few icy corners. Didn’t ride this past weekend but going riding this afternoon will have a better report for you tomorrow.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows almost all trails were groomed last night. Here are the 3 trail sections NOT groomed. Pick up a map to see exact locations
- Trail 10E to include the spurs: Chanticleer, Grampa Grahm & 9 Mile not groomed. This is from the intersection of Alt 13/3 south of Eagle River
- Trail 17N from Chain o’ Lakes Rd by Cenex Gas station to the intersection of 17N & 3N aka Manske Swamp. Trail runs along side of Hwy 17N of Eagle River
- Trail 10W/13N – section from Hwy G crossing to Adams Rd. North of Eagle River.
Catfish & Eagle lake trails were marked & are NOW OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN at this time.
The re route on 10/13/7/17 which is west of Eagle River still has rough areas. The Sno-Eagles Club did some stump grinding to help smooth out the area a few weeks ago. New re routes can take a whole season before they smooth.
Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions. Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com
Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! We need lots! Looks like Tuesday SNOW
See ya on the trails next week!!

Reporter:Toulish1
Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 2-6″
Date of Report: January 16, 2022
Snowmobile Information:
I will go with a fair report. Trail 17, the grade, is thin. From Woodruff to Stearns Lake Road, it is a klinker. From Stearns Lake to H is better, then from there to the Raven area is between the two. Trail 5 into the casino is good.Thin in spots but OK. 17 north from the 5 intersection is OK for two miles, then thin again. We ran trail 1, Stearns Lake Road, to Boundary Trail, up to 51, three days now. Thin but thanks to the bank runners, it keeps things going with enough snow. Our lake trails are good. Watch the middle of Fence Lake. Ice spots where water pushed up. I would avoid 17 until we get snow, and use 1 to 51. North from the Northern Hornshoe system is pounded, but runnable. The groomers are amazing. Amazing weekend with no snow, and high traffic. Boulder Club breakfast at Gooches was outstanding. Snow on the horizon for Tuesday. Ride safe. Mark

Temps popped up & with that came SNOW. Overnight just a schiff of not measurable SNOW. SNOW today will move in around 8:30 this morning. Weather guys forecasting much needed 1-3 inches.
The hard base of 7 inches +- that is frozen hard & holding. All thanks to the cold weather. There is loose hard SNOW in most areas but crunchy with not much moisture. SNOW depth is about 14 inches total There a few icy corners. Not as many as I expected. All in all trails are Fair with many Good areas. Was happy to see trails are SNOW covered with the exception of some of the approaches to crossing. Even through town was Fair right now
Was great to see the groomer out grooming Trail 10E last night as we headed home from the Derby Track. Haven’t been able to ride this weekend. Volunteering at the Track. So my reports are from riders & groomer driver I spoke to. All of ’em are surprised that the trails are holding. Great it’s been cold. Lots of traffic with the Derby & President’s Weekend riders.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows even with sub zero temps, almost all trails were groomed last night. Here are the trails sections NOT groomed. Pick up a map to see exact locations
- Trail 70W that heads west behind the Dairy Queen in town & connects to the St. Germain trails
- Trail 17S/7 that spurs off of 70W near the Honey Bear Inn & Hwy H west of town. Trail 17 heads south & connects with the Sugar Camp trails along Hwy 17.
- Trail 7 aka Paint Ball Field trail is a spur off of Trail 17S & comes out on Hwy H west of Eagle River near the Kathan Inn Bar & Grill. It also connect to the west Sugar Camp trails
- A Club trail called Uncle Kent’s trail. It is north & west of Eagle River & comes out on Hwy G.
- Section of Trail 10W/13N from where it crosses Hwy G to Adams Rd. This is also north of Eagle River.
Catfish & Eagle lake trails were marked & are NOW OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN at this time. Work in progress. Stay tuned.
The re route on 10/13/7/17 which is west of Eagle River still has rough areas. The Sno-Eagles Club did some stump grinding to help smooth out the area a few weeks ago. New re routes can take a whole season before they smooth. Slow down & all will be great.

COLD this morning. Not much change in the report. Sort of good news is there is some SNOW forecast tomorrow. Only about an inch. The next chance of SNOW is Tuesday. Weather guys forecasting 2+. Really need a loud SNOW DANCE!
As I’ve been reporting for a while now there is a base of 7 inches +- that is frozen hard & holding. There is loose hard SNOW in most areas but crunchy with not much moisture. SNOW depth is about 14 inches total There a few icy corners. Not as many as I expected. All in all trails are Fair with many Good areas.

The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows even with sub zero temps, almost all trails were groomed last night. Here are the 3 area trails sections NOT groomed. Pick up a map to see exact locations
- 10E that head east & all spurs which is off the Alt13 “the grade” crossing Loon Lakes Rd. This just south of Eagle River.
- 10W/13N heading north out of Eagle River. From the Hwy G road crossing to Adams Rd.
- Trail 1 that from the Eagle Lake trail boat launch to to where it comes out on Hunter Lane. This is northeast of Eagle River
Catfish & Eagle lake trails were marked & are NOW OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN at this time. Work in progress. Stay tuned.
There is a re route on 10/13/7/17 heading west. Did stump grinding to help smooth out the area. New SNOW has helped that area a lot.
Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions. Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com

Hello Riders!
Groomers have been out all week smoothing everything down for the weekend! Groomers report trails to be in good condition. Some rocky areas in some heavily traveled corners but over all consensus is trails are in good-very good condition! A little snow would be helpful and make things freshened up but even without trails are good!
Have a safe weekend!

Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 6-9
Date of Report: January 14, 2022
Area Report:
Logging is currently in process on both County and Federal Properties. When coming into a logging area, follow the signage and never go under or near logging equipment when they are in use. This s a very dangerous situation, and if it continues, the trail may be shut down or forced to be rerouted. Let’s all be safe and patient when we are on the trails. Logg g equipment has the right of way.
Red Arrow Snowmobile Club – 1/12/22
Groomers were last out Monday we will groom again Thursday night. The trails are in good condition.
Chute Pond Snowmobile Club – 1/13/22
Chute Pond Snowmobile Trails are open and in good to very good “early season condition”- which means there may be rough spots, bare spots, dips, ungroomed areas by swamps or water holes. Please take it easy on the starts, stops, and corners- and in general, reduce your speed and be aware of the trail conditions. Grooming continues as needed and in many areas, our trails are in great shape- but in some areas, the surface will not be as smooth as mid-season riding. More specific details follow:
INT 311 to INT 320 is back open. Take it easy north of CTY W as you ride through the repaired trail.
There is a small trail change as you approach Animal’s in the ditch on Hwy T. Please follow the trail signs. Be aware that loggers are working along the Mountain Lakes Rd trail from Hwy 64 north to Star Lake Rd.
The north pipeline trail is open, has been groomed once, and is passable from Jack Pine Rd to Crooked Lake- but will continue to be a rough ride until we get more snow to fill in the dips. Adjust your speed accordingly.
Our groomer operators and volunteers have spent countless hours getting our trails ready, and grooming will continue, both day and night. Please watch for the groomers- then stop and wait for their signal that it is safe to move past them. Please respect the loggers, our trails, and other riders. Remember these are still early season conditions- and ride accordingly.
Gillett Sno Riders – 1/14/22
We will be out grooming this afternoon and through the weekend. Trails are in early season condition, overall they are in good condition, expect to see some thin spots in the field crossings. The NST specifically is in good condition and has held up nicely to the traffic north of town. There is parking at Zippel park located right on the trail.
Paul Bunyan Riders – 1/12/22
The trails are open and in good condition.
BB Joyriders – 1/12/22
B&B Joyriders Trails are all open and in fair to very good, the groomers will be out again this weekday and night getting the trails ready for the weekend. We all could use more snow, maybe only 1” is coming this week. There are spots on the trail that we cannot groom yet, but we are getting close. There is a fishery on White Potato Lake Saturday 1/15.
Lena – 1/13/22
Trails are open expect poor to fair rating with early season conditions.
Oconto Falls – 1/13/22
Trails will be in “early season” condition with some rocks/ruts/dips due to minimal snow. We do have a couple of areas of concern where extra caution should be taken.
The trail between Garrity Rd and Elm Lawn Rd has not been fully groomed due to the area not being able to support the weight of the groomer. There is also a spot west of Gray Lake Rd where the groomer broke through and there are some ice chunks sticking out. This area will have extra markers and caution tape around it. There is active logging in the county forest, and remember that logging equipment has the right of way, and there will be areas where the loggers plowed the trail.
Chase – CLOSED. 1/14/22
Trails will remain closed due to a lack of snow.
