EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Closed

Still SNOW on the ground 6 miles east of Eagle River.  It is icy with a thin covering.  4 at most.  Earlier this morning there was some LEF SNOW.  About an inch.  Tomorrow, Thursday 4+ inches of real SNOW.  Stay tuned.  With all that said need you to  START DOIN A SNOW DANCE!  Need way more SNOW to be able to open the trails.

The Vilas County Parks & Rec Supervisor has been out last week & this week inspecting all 11 clubs trails.  Will complete on December 19th.  Then it’s a waiting game for more SNOW to open. Monthly Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance meeting tonight in Boulder Jct. 

Sno-Eagles are using the roller & Argo to help drive the frost down & have been panning to build a hard icy frozen base.  As I have been reporting there is a re-route of the Trail 3 aka Manske Swamp that is still being worked on.  When all done I will post a map with the trail updates.   Trail 17 aka Hiawatha Trail has be rehab-ed.  No more going in that wet mushy section just before Kick Back & Hiawatha motel.  Alt Trail 13 that heads south to Three Lakes remains CLOSED.  Trail 17S that connects with the Sugar Camp trails remains the same but there is a short re route where Eagle River Sno-Eagles connect.  Another landowner closure.  Map of that to follow too.

If you haven’t already,  it’s time to renew your membership and purchase your discounted Trail Pass from the AWSC.  Sno-Eagles  AWSC Click on these links to do both

Keep THINKIN’ COLD!  A loud SNOW DANCE IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER!!

• Trail 102: all water holes have now frozen up.
• 13n short section wet that never really freezes over but nothing to worry about.
• 13s all water holes frozen in but remains thin towards the south end of the lake.
• 1n one swamp that hasn’t been crossed yet,but will be addressed in the next day or 2.
• 1s there’s one spot where water is leaching onto the trail but only a few inches deep and hasn’t been an issue. (Just ride with caution.)

Not recommending Lake traffic at this time.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – December 14, 2024

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 8-10″

Date of Report: December 14, 2024

Snowmobile Information:

Not a lot to report yet.It’s 19 degrees and has been single digits and below zero the last few days. Good for ice making and firming up the swamps. We have some base snow, but need more before we could open. Our main groomer went down yesterday. Keith, John, and Nick are working on it now. Something about splines in the front end. Ever watch Kelly’s Heros? ” I just drive ’em, I don’t know what makes ’em work.” Our club, as are many, is blessed with several guys that know how to wrench. The more we can do, the less we need to hire out. Volunteers make this sport happen. I spout out a lot about getting involved. Join a club, get involved. Whether you push a broom at the groomer barn, or attend AWSC meetings or conventions, a lot of people do a lot of work to make this sport what it is. KAOS, Next Gen Riders, MS Riders. Do some googling. Will keep an eye on the snow, and let you know. Mark

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – December 14, 2024

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 5-6 inches

Date of Report: December 14, 2024

Area Report:

Happy Holidays!!  Time for a weekly update. It’s been quite cold the past week… dipping down into the negative digits for a few days this past week. Snow cover remains at about 4-5 inches for our area. Trails are freezing up nicely with the cold temps and the snowfall we have received… makes for a great base and good riding once we receive a little more snow. 

We will continue to update as we receive additional snow and trails improve.  Until then, we all wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Iron County.
