Area Report:
Trails in Eagle River & All of Vilas County CLOSED
Very cold & clear this morning! 28 for a high today. Cold night time temps are terrific for ice building & keeping the swamps frozen. Now what we need is SNOW!!!! Weather guys reporting the best chance of SNOW next Wednesday. Could see 3 inches. Keep Doin’ the Snow Dance!
Vilas County Forestry, Recreation & Land department has completed 10 of the 11 snowmobile club inspections. Last inspection will be Friday. Once all are done it’s a waiting game ’til the SNOW gets here.
A few updates on the trails:
Trail 13 that heads west of Eagle River has a re route in the section that comes out on Oak Lane by the Pine Gables Restaurant. There is new construction going on so the club has done a temporary move over of the trail. The club is working with the Vilas Forestry, Recreation and Land department to complete the permanent re route which will be in place for the 2021-2022 season. If you are familiar with that trail rather than the 2 corners at the west end by Oak Lane it will go straight ahead. TRAIL WILL BE OPEN.
Also the lake spur off of the Eagle Lake Trail that takes you to Eagle Waters Resort is back open!!! The owner Laura Koranda & adjacent landowners worked hard to have this happen!
Let’s get a loud SNOW DANCE GOING! Want to hear it way up here. Can’t wait to see ya all out on the trails!
THINK COLD!
