    Trail Updates

     Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed.  The Club is working on a reroute.

     Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail       

     Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the  lake this winter.  If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – January 29, 2026

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 12-14″

Date of Report: January 29, 2026

Area Report:

At 8:00 AM it’s -1 degrees out with sunny skies and warming up to 10 degrees today followed
by a warmup into the low twenties by the weekend.
We last groomed 15N/6E Tuesday night, 2W/8W/51 Wednesday evening and 8E/15S/11 early
this morning. Generally, the trails are in very good shape being flat with plenty of snow base.
We do have a few problem spots that have developed moguls due to the heavy traffic. One is
the combined 2W/8W trail from town out to the 8W/2W intersection which has been double
groomed to keep smooth. The other is a small section of 15S south of Nebish Road which has
some depressions along the way in which we are working on daily to smooth out. Once you get
south of the 15S/11 Sayner intersection, the trail is great down to County N.
Please ride safe while on our area trails and stop in and patronize our local businesses.
Look for an updated trail report on Monday, 2/2.
