Trail Report – : Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – March 15, 2019

Reporter:Manitowish Waters Chamber

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 25-35 inches

Date of Report: March 15, 2019

Area Report:

The warm up has melted some snow, but we didn’t get as much rain as predicted! It is soft due to warm weather. Today I would call our trails fair to good in the woods, but stay tuned. If you’re planning a weekend trip up, I would still come up. Temperatures have cooled a bit, and a chance of snow Friday. Cooler temperatures tonight, into the upper 20’s and 30’s for highs over the weekend with the lows in the upper teens. Some trails may have soft sections so use caution but there is still some riding to do out there! A big thank you to all of our groomers for doing such a great job this winter!

News and Reports:

A huge thank you to all donors, sponsors, volunteers and those who came out to the Rendezvous 2019. It was a huge success!

Snowmobile Information:

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters snowmobile club was founded in 1968 and is one of the oldest snowmobile clubs in existence today in Wisconsin. Located in the very northwest corner of Vilas county, Manitowish Waters borders the Lake Superior snow-belt country. With average snowfalls of 150 inches and over 25 miles of professionally groomed trails, the area is one of Vilas County’s top winter vacation areas.

The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today. Support the club by attending their special events or contributing to the “trail pigs” at local establishments along the trails. Or show your support by becoming a member!

Enjoy, and please ride responsibly and safely!

Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – March 15, 2019

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-15”

Date of Report: March 15, 2019

Area Report:

Here are your current conditions
Our trail system is still open. The lastest we can stay open is till March 31st due to our agreements with private landowners.

Rain earlier this week has depleted some of our snow. Things are firming up and trails will be good in the woods. The lakes are going to wet and slushy. We were able to groom everything prior to the rain. The roads will start to get bare again. Watch out for deer, if you come upon them, please give them some time to get off the trails. Use extreme caution at road crossings, snow banks are high and tough to see cross traffic. Stay on the trail on the lakes, if you get off, you will get stuck.

Please stay on the trail, or you have a good chance of getting stuck. You must yield to the groomers, they have the right away. It is much easier to get a sled unstuck then it is a groomer.

Please, slow down and limit your drinking. Way too many fatalities in northern Wisconsin, and they all can be prevented.

Lakes are all marked. Remember, stay as close to the barrels as possible. If you don’t see barrels, assume they are not safe.

Please respect our private landowners and stay on the trail. We have had a couple issues this year already and it always puts our trails in danger.

Use caution at all road crossing as they are icy.

Check our Facebook page for information about the new hoodies and T-shirt’s we have for sale.

Trail Report – : Crivitz, Wisconsin – March 15, 2019

Reporter:ironsnowshoe

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: 12 inches plus

Date of Report: March 15, 2019

Area Report:

We are not closing the trails as of this point, however, due to the rain and warm temperatures, they are in poor condition. All grooming has been suspended since the trails are soft and slushy. Be prepared for the unexpected…there is some standing water…yet there is also ice and slush. Use caution.

The bunny in the box is still out there. Many of you have narrowed it down to a certain area, however, with all the snow this year, it is obviously buried. This is worth many $$$$$’s!!!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – March 15, 2019

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 24-36 inches

Date of Report: March 15, 2019

Area Report:

Trail report for March 15, 2019– Trails are fair. It is about 20 deg above zero and it is snowing very light. The last two days with the rain and warm temps really took a toll on our trails. Out away from town the snow is very clean, less traffic and melting slower. The trails have turned very icy. Trails at road crossings and road routes can be bare. At road crossings snow banks are still very high with lowered visibility. Please use caution. With decreased control on icy trails please watch out for other riders. We are expected to have overcast skies today and temps in the 30’s so the trails might last a little longer. This coming week with warmer temps could badly degrade the trails. We will have to wait to see. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Snowmobile Trail Reports:

Red Arrow Snowmobile Trails (Townsend) – 3/15/2019

It’s 44 degrees in beautiful downtown Townsend this morning, with fog and rain last night and this morning. We lost a lot of snow overnight. Please stay off the trails for now to minimize any damage from sleds. Grooming operations have ceased at least until further notice!! More rain is in the forecast for all day today and into tomorrow morning. If it were to turn cold again, we have a very thick base on the trails. The long range forecast doesn’t look good though.

Paul Bunyan (Lakewood) – 3/15/2019

The rain and warm temperatures are taking a toll on what were the best tails we had in years. There is a good base yet if the temperature drops this weekend. If at all possible stay off the trails until it cools down to extend the season a little longer.

Chute Pond Snowmobile Trails (Suring/Mountain) -3/15/2019

Chute Pond Trails are open, in late season condition. There may be some bare spots, some standing water, and some icy areas. There is no grooming scheduled at this time- we’re waiting to see how things freeze back up. Please stay on the trails, and ride with extra caution.

Bagley and Brazeau Joyriders Snowmobile Trails – 3/13/2019

Snowmobile report

We are expecting 1-3 inches of snow today. Temps for the weekend will be in the low 30’s with the lows in the teens. What an awesome time to come up and enjoy some of the greatest trails we have had in years. DON’T MISS OUT!!!!!

THE GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY Tuesday 3/12 2:00pm CST: Grooming has ceased as of 3/12/19 2:00am. Grooming is planned to resume this weekend with one groomer while the second groomer will be out in the distant reaches of our system brushing for next season. Many spots we only have access to in the winter so it is go-time for brushing! We have about an inch of rain forecast for the weekend. We can survive rain, even a lot of rain, but we can’t groom an ice block. No the rain will not bring us dirt trails. However there could be water flowing hazards across trails and things can get real icy real quick. We do not have a tiller so grooming becomes a very time sensitive task. Riding this weekend is encouraged, just need to ride cautiously as running water could appear on the trails. If you see a groomer please pull over and let them pass. Overall our trails are excellent!

Trail 2 from Hurley to Ramsay Crossing is excellent was last groomed 3/10/19. Please do not ride on sidewalks near Holiday and try to keep the noise down in town.

Trail 2 from Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield is very good was last groomed 3/10/19. PLEASE REMEBER TO CROSS US HWY 2 IN THE CORRECT LANE OF TRAVEL, DO NOT BLOCK HWY TURN LANES!

Wakefield to Marenisco is excellent was lasted groomed 3/10/19. This trail is a mix of twisty but wide forest roads (13mi) and 12mi of rail bed to Marenisco. This beautiful trail is 12 miles of unplowed wide logging roads that wind their way through the Gogebic Range Hills before running 10 miles of rail-trail to Marenisco. PLEASE STOP AT ALL STOP SIGNS ON THE RAIL TRAIL! There is a significant logging presence on FR-8100 with dozens of log trucks hauling out daily. Last week an accident occurred with a log truck. Stop at the stop signs!!

Trail 8 from Bingos to Tula Crossing is excellent and was last groomed 3/10/19. Bingo’s is closed and has no gas….

Trail 160 from Walmart to Montreal River (WI) is excellent last groomed 3/7/19. This is their most scenic trail and a treat to ride! Stay on the trail in the farm fields. Over 25 landowners are involved to make this trail a reality, please respect them and ride responsibly.

Trail 11S is in excellent condition it was last groomed 3/10/19. It is groomed all the way to the WI line. This 17 mile long trail has 2 stop signs and is a wilderness tour. The southern 3 miles get thinner, but remains in good condition.

Trail 11 N is closed indefinitely.

THE GOGEBIC AREA GROOMERS-
Tuesday, March 13th
Gogebic area trails are in excellent condition. Temps warm up Tuesday through Thursday and there’s a potential for rain that seems to diminish slightly as we head more into the week. Friday will bring about a drop in temperature with a forecast for snow. Groomers will be parked during this mid-week warm up and they will be back out as soon as the temperatures allow. We’ve got a great base and we certainly have enough snow – so we hope to have good riding through the end of March.
