Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Still winter

Date of Report: February 25, 2020

Area Report:

The trails are holding up pretty well. Tough going on some of the road routes and accessing gas stations but as a whole I am pleasantly surprised.

Winter Snowmobile and All-Season Trails (As of 2/25/2020)

Currently, ALL of Douglas County trails are open. Trails are in good condition, icy in some areas with the recent warmer temperatures and subsequent cool down. Please note, deer have been reported on trails, so please keep an eye out while traveling.

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.

Trail Report – : Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – February 25, 2020

Reporter:Manitowish Waters Chamber

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 18-24 Inches

Date of Report: February 25, 2020

Area Report:

Warm weather over the weekend softened the trails. Road crossings are getting bare. However there is still some good riding to be had. I rode up the grade Monday and out trail 10 to the “Sunken Horse” out on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. Mercer and Manitowish Waters groomers had both been out late Sunday and early Monday morning. Trails were flat and in good condition. The grade up to Mercer was snow covered. Be careful going into corners as they are getting icy. Trail sections that share plowed roads took a hit. It’s a bit cooler today and a little overcast. A little snow would help freshen things up, but you can still get some miles on. It’s a great time of year to ride, less traffic, more daylight and some great scenery! Overall, I would call our trails fair to good in the woods.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 25, 2020

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 9-16 inches of snow

Date of Report: February 25, 2020

Area Report:

Despite the warmer weekend, our trails are still VERY GOOD, especially in the woods or trails that are sheltered. Trails along the roadway or open to the sun may have a few bare spots but will most likely be thin…you’re usually on these trails as an access to the better trails in the woods, so it should not impact your riding too much. The lake trails may have some icy corners and spots, be sure to stay on the marked trails. A more detailed report will be out later this week.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – February 25, 2020

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: still plenty on the trails

Date of Report: February 25, 2020

Area Report:

Trails are holding up better than expected with last weekend’s warm-up. We no doubt lost some trail base, but there is plenty of snow on the trails. Not even seeing much burn through on the wooded trails or corners at this point. We don’t have as much traffic as areas north, so the trail base is holding up. The lakes are froze tight and the slush is non-existent. They are in good shape.

Some points to be aware of:

The road routes are down to the pavement. They won’t have a significant effect on your ride quality in the big picture, but there will be scrapping of carbides and minimal lubrication to the slides. The roadway intersections are snirty and approaches will show dirt.

Grooming is continuing to be completed on a nightly basis (weather permitting).

Watch for icy corners as the season matures.

Get out and ride before the season is over…Good conditions heading into March!
