EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
All Conditions
Trails can remain open until midnight March 31st

Late report today as we went out for a last ride.  Trails out east on Trail 10 are still ample snow covered from Taylor Lk Rd/ERRA Hockey Arena heading east on the south side of Hwy 70E. Exception the highway bridge crossing and a section east of the bridge were you merge back onto the trail. After that snow covered except the road crossings all the way out.  At South Military rd & highway crossing it’s bare.  Once across,  trail along N. Military is snow covered.  South Anvil Lk Rd ice & snow covered all the way to Bald Eagle Lane.  Which is half bare.  Back in the woods & snow covered all the way the Forestry road that takes you the woods trail.  Left onto a snow covered trail up the hill about 1/2 way.  Burn through at top and some of the high hill.  Northside lots of sun.  Snow again that gets thin at the connect with Three Lakes trail.  Three Lakes trails are snow covered & get better & better farther out you go. Would not recommend returning on the northside 10 one way to town.  Ride Three Lakes trails to Three Lakes.  Take the grade Alt 13N.  Nice 50-60 mile ride.  If ya have a need to ride go east.

Heading north it’s a bit of a struggle but in the woods there’s snow.  WI River bridge section & 3N aka Manske good with snow & ice.  No report on 10W.

No Grooming last night

Remember as you ride & meet a groomer the equipment is NOT able to leave the trail due to it’s weight.  Pull over & stop.  Wait for direction from the driver.  Give ’em a thumbs up.  They groom so we can ride!

Please ride on the right side, slow down, limit alcohol & no off trail riding.

Catfish & Eagle Lake barrels have been removed for the season.

Take The Pledge, Protect Snowmobiling access for today’s and future snowmobilers (snowmobilerspledge.com)

HINK COLD!!!  Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! 

Maybe this year we’ll ride ’til midnight on the 31st!
