Snowmobile Information:
Our club has been active for 32 years now. We started out as a small club in 1988 named The Neillsville Rec Riders, designing ATV routes that accessed the Clark County Forest Trail System, via roads. We then created our first cross county un-groomed snowmobile and winter ATV trail system from Neillsville to Granton. In 1993 we purchased a used Bombardier groomer to start grooming our trail for snowmobiling. In 1996 we expanded our snowmobile and winter ATV trail system from Neillsville to the Clark County Forest Trail near Hatfield.
In 1997 we added a tractor and new drag to our grooming fleet to keep up with the grooming schedule. In 1999 we further expanded our growing trail system with a snowmobile trail running from Granton to Sherwood. In 2001 we made a big achievement in trail devolpement by creating a snowmobile trail from Neillsville to Loyal, giving us a total of 56 miles in groomed snowmobile trails across private lands. In 2002 we had to add a second tractor and drag to keep up with the high grooming demand. After receiving heavy, drifting snows during the ’06-’08 seasons while continuing to get stuck with our tractors, we felt the need to add a newer tracked groomer to our fleet.
We purchased a Piston Bully trailer groomer to keep up with the demanding trail grooming where our tractors fell short, in deep snow and eliminated 1 tractor and drag! We groom our trails 20′ wide where ever possible and they are the best marked in the county, you won’t get lost on our trail system! In 2010, we had to cease the operation of winter ATV use on all of our snowmobile trails, due to increasing abuse from disrespectful ATV’ers creating problems on private lands. Moving forward in 2011 we strive to keep up with the best snowmobile trails in the county and that is out main focus moving on. Upgrading in 2017 we purchased a 2007 Prinoth BR180 tracked groomer adding two tracked machines to our fleet.
The Clark County Forest ATV and Snowmobile Trails are maintained by the Parks and Forest Department as well as the 9 other clubs that maintain the rest of the trails in Clark County. Our club would not be where it is today without the help and permission of the 89 landowners who allow us to cross their lands. With out them we would have no trails. All of our members that help out, donate their time and it is much appreciated when we get compliments on how well of a job we have done.

Winter Snowmobile and All-Season Trails (As of 3/13/2020)
All snowmobile and Winter ATV trails under the management of the Douglas County Forestry Department will officially close for the season at 8:00 am local time on Monday, March 16, 2020. Douglas County has received two days of warm weather last weekend and the trail conditions across the county range from good to poor. There are many areas of bare ground and almost all grooming has stopped on all trails. Snowmobile traffic is not recommended and most if not all grooming has been suspended.
PLEASE check the trail you intend to use is open and do not trespass on private property. It is critical that we respect the landowners who allow us to utilize their property. It just takes one owner to deny the use of their land for a trail to be permanently shut down, so please be courteous and wait for the trails to officially open.
The following all-year-round recreational trails will temporarily close March 16, 2020, except for the following trail segments:
Gandy Dancer – MN/WI Stateline to Patzau.
Saunders Grade – MN/WI Stateline to Schallameir Road Parking Lot
Wild Rivers Trail – Douglas Co./Washburn Co. line to a point 500 feet north of County Highway Y
Wild Rivers Trail – North Trailhead parking lot (County Highway A) to the Harroun Road.

Cross Country Ski Trails (As of 3/13/2020)
Douglas County Ski Trails – The ski trails have been groomed on 2/19 and are still covered in snow. The trails are packed hard and the groomer was unable to cut new tracks in the packed snow. Grooming is suspended until further notice, however, the trails are open.
Superior Municipal Forest – Update 3/13: Due to the rain, conditions are poor but skiable in most of the systems. Grooming is limited due to the ice. Skiers should watch for flowing water and multiple ice spots on the trails. At this time groomers will need to hold off on future grooming operations unless we get snow.
Pattison State Park – No new updates are available.
Brule River After Hours Trail – Update on 3/9: Skate decks have been groomed. On roughly half the trails, two passes were made. Expect some debris, and there are a few thin spots and ice patches. Still a significant base on the trails.
For further information, please contact the Douglas County Forestry Department at 715-378-2219 Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm excluding Holidays.

Area Report:
The snowmobile trails here in the Keweenaw are all still being groomed and are open for riding. We got anywhere from 5″ to 8″ yesterday and last night, just enough to give the trails a little boost. The trails going through town are still rough, but once out of town they are good. Parking lots and road crossing will be bare in most spots. But overall, the riding is considered pretty good. Don’t cancel your trips up here, we are open for business!!
