Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 14, 2026

Reporter:mcpossin

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 8-12″ and fading like Frosty

Date of Report: February 14, 2026

Snowmobile Information:

Will report fair today just due to the strong sun and 42 degrees old Frosty is on Slim-Fast.  High of 52 by Monday.

From Hornshoe Trailboss Nick: 

Friday the 13th brings unseasonably warm weather. Looks like it may last about five days with hopes of cooler temps and snow to follow. Trails are holding but can’t say if they will make it though the whole warm spell. Road routes are deteriorating fast. Trails in the sun will suffer the most. Not much we can do but pray for more snow. Will groom as much as temperatures will allow. Slow down in the corners. Snow is soft so you will slide into another sled very easily. Respect the land you ride on and keep between the blazers. Get out and enjoy what we have while you can. Have fun and enjoy your weekend. Remember to keep it at 55 at night max.

As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

Another day of the warm up.  Amazing how well in woods trails are hold.  Even more amazing is there is SNOW all be it mushy covering the grade in town.  Under 32 at night is great as it is freezing up.  Next SNOW Wednesday night.

Only rode a short ride east on 10E yesterday.  Trails in the woods & on the south side of the road are in pretty good shape.  Road crossing & road running has some ice but also a lot of bare.  Northside trails as you get out in the Anvil lake & farther north open to road are breaking down.  Again in the wood is pretty good.  There are birmmed corners, ice & some breakdown.  This was a ride only beyond the Three Lakes/Brule trails connect.  Then headed back home.  

Sno-Eagles groomers is experiencing an issue with GTS grooming reporting.  So be aware that if you are using the APP to know what was groomed it may/will not be accurate.

Here is what I believe was groomed
From Groomer Barn heading north:
Trail 10W/13N to Adams Rd
Trail 17N to Trail 1 connect
Trail 3 from intersect with 10W/13N to 17N
Groomers took Trail 3 to reconnect with 10W/13N grooming all directions to Buckatabon/Bauers area & toward Sayner & St. Germain.
 
************************************
Daily Reminders:   
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.  There are mogul drifts along the barrels so recommend slowing down. Lots of SNOW mist so leave space between you & rider in front. As of yesterday no surface slush.

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.

No riding today!
See ya on the trails soon!!

Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – February 13, 2026

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 6 – 8″ Base

Date of Report: February 13, 2026

Area Report:

At this time ALL Trails in Washburn County are open. The trails have recently been groomed, have a sustainable trail base and are in fair condition. All reports coming in from the groomers indicate that the trails are holding up fairly well.  There are a few spots starting to lack snow cover as they are in wide open areas and get direct sunlight for the better part of the day.   Remember that grooming and maintenance activities continue throughout the season. Use caution while riding, watch for trail equipment, and enjoy the trails responsibly.  If you encounter any trail issues such as downed trees, limbs, or debris, please report them to Washburn County Forestry at 715-635-4490.

Please be advised that ice conditions continue to vary and traveling on any lake is never 100% safe. Washburn County Forestry does not maintain anything past the high ground point. Please use caution if you are out on any lake.

It’s the start of the weekend & a warm up.  Will be 40’s next few days. 20’s at night.  Then dropping on Tuesday below freezing during the day & teens at night.  Best new is SNOW Tuesday through Thursday.  No hard totals.  Stay tuned.

As for the trails.  Rode late afternoon yesterday to see how trails held up.  Trail 10E one way heading to town on the northside of the road was GOOD.  Surprised as the northside of the one way trails go south first.  Roads are breaking down. Grade (10/13) to town SNOW covered & EXCELLENT.  At the Dairy Queen crossing it was slushy.  Through town real soft but SNOW covered. True all the way to 10/13 Hwy G crossing.  Undercover on 10/13 all SNOW covered & VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT.  Honest!! Rode to Trail 3 intersect.  Head south on 3.  It was soft & browning from the highway chemicals floating on. No bare sports.  Rode to Trails 3 & 17 intersection.  Took 17N almost to Phelps.  It was all SNOW covered except Columbus Rd & Shangri La Rd.  From Shangri La Rd where Phelps trails start it was VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.  All road sections covered with SNOW & some ice.  Headed back toward Eagle River to Trail 1 aka Deerview Rd which has a great birm on the north side with plenty of SNOW.  Town Hall Rd portion of Trail 1 is icy.  The trail birm on the west side was GOOD.  One section had some large SNOW chunks from road clearing.  Watch for that. Eagle Lake is moguled but safe all the way.  E. Dollar Lk Rd section of 1 was 1/2 bare.  Trail 1 on east side of road was SNOW filled & pretty smooth. Trail 10 heading east was well ridden & choppy all the way home.  Lots of traffic.  The bridge crossing by Boat Sport is at Adventure sledding level.  Cement & mud especially on the east side.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 12, 2026

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12

Date of Report: February 12, 2026

Area Report:

Sawyer County snowmobile trails are OPEN and in excellent condition!

Groomers are out and reporting that trails are laying down nice and flat. There is plenty of snow both on the trails and in the woods, allowing crews to pull snow into corners, potholes, and crossings as needed. Grooming continues during freezing hours to help preserve the base.

This weekend will be warm — no doubt about it. Trails will soften at times, and heavy traffic may rough up some areas. Open trails near roads and road routes may begin to brown from sun exposure, traffic, and road spray (sand and salt). Wooded trails remain well protected and will offer the best coverage and riding conditions.

Lake travel:

Lakes are currently in good shape, but with warmer daytime temperatures and increased traffic, expect some slush to develop. Overnight freezes can make lake surfaces rough in the mornings and evenings. Ride cautiously, stay on marked trails, and be especially careful when traveling off-trail to private lodging — slush can freeze hard and create rough conditions.

⚠️ Please note: a road has been reported plowed on Nelson Lake, and another on Round Lake off the Peninsula boat launch.

In summary: Trails are open, groomed, and ready to ride! This weekend should be great. With warm temperatures and a busy holiday weekend (Presidents Day on Monday), trail conditions will be reassessed after the weekend once we can better evaluate wear, temperatures, and the forecast ahead.

For now, enjoy what we have and take it week by week. The next full trail update will come next week.

Ride right and ride safe! 🛷❄️

Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – February 12, 2026

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 15 inches

Date of Report: February 12, 2026

Area Report:

It’s cold this morning but the warm temps will arrive this afternoon and will last through the weekend. We are looking at low 40’s all weekend and into early next week.  We expect to see a lot of traffic this weekend for the President’s Day Weekend. Trails in the woods & where there is less sun should hold up. Roads and over exposed areas may not fair as well. Our town has been great about not plowing roads all the way down so this may help this weekend. We will be out grooming this weekend if temps are below freezing at night. After this warm up we are looking a a chance for snow next weekend with temps back at or below freezing.  Do the snow dance! While you are out and about this weekend checkout the Three Lakes Tavern League Poker Run. Cards are available at local bars and restaurants. Party is Sat. Night at Spirit View Lakeside. Sunday Northern Lights Snowmobile Club will have a chili dump on Trail 8 (the Upper Kimbell Trail) at the horse area. Hope to see you on the trails!!

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 12, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Hard Ice Pack

Date of Report: February 12, 2026

Area Report:

Well, here we go. Our February warm up is coming this weekend. We have been pretty fortunate up till now that any minor warm up came during the week, not on a busy weekend. Trail conditions will change quickly from hard ice base to soft and mushed out corners. We will have to monitor night time temperatures to see if we can groom. 

Last night we only hit the busiest trails, all trails were hit on Tuesday night. 

The next weather system is predicted to be here next Wednesday. Hopefully it is all snow and plenty of it. We will need it after this warm spell. 

Remember to follow the barrels when crossing lakes. There is a large ice heave out in the middle of North Twin Lake. A few sleds have gone wide of the barrels and hit the ice heave where it is quite a bit higher than the rest of the ice. If you cross where the barrels are with lights, it is pretty flat now.  Also, the night time speed limit is 55 mph everywhere. 

Right Right, Ride Safe
