Ashland County Trails remain in overall Excellent conditions.  The southern part of the county in EXCELLENT condition and trails in the northern part of the county are in GOOD condition.  Open water just south of County Road A on Trail 13.  Ride with caution as the warm weather may open up more water hazards.

One Reroute:  starting 1/18 due to logging operations: Trail 11 to Iron County will be detoured. You need to follow Nig Rein Rd to Camp E Rd to reconnect at Bear Track Rd!

Reminder everyone that the Ashland Waterfront Trail is not open to motorized vehicles, including snowmobiles and ATVs. Anyone caught riding on the Ashland Waterfront Trail will be ticketed.

When snowmobiling please stay on the trail.  A lot of Ashland County snowmobile trails are on farmers land, be respectful so we don’t lose our easement to their property.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 10, 2026

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12

Date of Report: February 10, 2026

Area Report:

Groomers have been out and the trails remain in excellent condition.

Many have asked about the warmer temperatures forecasted for this week. It looks to be dropping below freezing each night, which is good for grooming operations. We have good snow and a good base along with thick forests for protection and amazing groomers. This weekend the trails will be ready to ride.

When we do get less than favorable winter weather all we can do is take it week by week or day by day when necessary. After the weekend we will revisit the conditions and update for next week.

Please remember to ride safe, ride right, and stay on the marked trails!

Very Good to Excellent
 Ice Base – Loose Soft SNOW
Trail 10/13 aka Wisconsin River Bridge has REOPENED
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

Sno-Eagles groomers are experiencing an issue with GTS grooming reporting.  So be aware that if you are using the APP to know what was groomed it may/will not be accurate.

 
Rode yesterday & despite the warm up trails we rode were great!  Headed out from 6 miles east on Trail 10 to 9mile trail which connects with 9 mile road in Three Lakes/Brule trails.  Rode Military & Old Military. ALL were SNOW covered. Rode to TL5 which crosses Fourmile, Big Fork, & Medicine. If you ride these STAY BY THE BARRELS as there are plenty of open spots. Took Pine Isle is located(not open) to where TL11 connects. TL11 & TL5 into town crossing Maple Lake.  Maple Lake was frozen.  TL5 to Corridor Trail 13.  Headed south. 
 
From there headed west on Corridor 13/12 heading to Sugar Camp.  North on Trail 15/Corridor 13 to where 15/13 split.  13 crosses Ripco Rd & heads north connecting to Sno-Eagles Trail 13/17.  Rode all the way to Trail 70 & headed east to Eagle River. 
 
North on 10/13/17 through town.  Trails 10/13 to Trail 3 connect north of Eagle River. South on Trail 3 to Trail 17/1 intersection.  Split onto Trail 1 that runs down Deerview Ln & along Hwy 17 heading north. Crossed Hwy 17 & road Town Hall Rd (PLEASE RIDE THE GROOMED TRAIL that runs along road) to Chain o’ Lakes Rd & Eagle Lake. Eagle Lake is drifty with mogul bumps. Trail 1 then runs on E. Dollar Lake Rd to Chanticleer Inn. Trail 1 runs along the road to Hwy 70.  Crossed & picked up Trail 10E & home. 
 
All in all great riding.  More riders than expected.  Some soft SNOW on the west & northside trails but no dirt. Few areas of chop on trails just into Oneida county, between TL lakes, Trail 13/17 heading to Trail 70.  Crossing just past ER Inn was mushy & poor.  Corrected on other side of road into town. Eagle River through town was SNOW covered.  Great ride!!
 
Daily Reminders:   
Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed.  The Club is working on a reroute.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail       

Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the        lake this winter.  If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights                  

See ya on the trails!!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 9, 2026

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 8-10″

Date of Report: February 9, 2026

Area Report:

Currently, it’s 35 degrees out with mostly cloudy skies followed by mild temps mid-week and
warming into the low 40’s by the weekend.
We last groomed 8E, 2W, 8W, 51, 15N, and 6E Saturday evening and 15S/11 early Monday a.m..
We will be out grooming 15N/6E, 2W, 8W, and 51 later this evening.
Overall, our trails are in good riding condition, but the snow is getting old and there are thin
spots showing up in the corners. With the milder temps mid-week, the trails will soften up and
start to wear down faster. Get out early for the best riding.
We have 2 fundraisers going on this week. On Thursday 2/12, we will be having our Spaghetti
Fundraiser at the Rustic Roadhaus starting at 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on Sunday 2/15 we
will be having our Breakfast fundraiser at The Guides Inn from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m..
Please ride safe, ride right, and enjoy the trails and area businesses while in our neck of the
woods!
Look for an updated trail report on Thursday, 2/12.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 9, 2026

Reporter:mcpossin

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: Wow

Date of Report: February 9, 2026

Snowmobile Information:

Ok, with Mary being very busy, and me being laid up, we will both bring you trail reports as we can, with trail boss Nicks help. Team Hornshoe at it’s best.

The report is excellent. Trails are here, wish you were beautiful, if I could see under the helmet and layers. We have been getting small dustings each day so it adds some fluff. Be cautious in the corners as some are getting icey.

We are looking at a warmup starting Thursday through Tuesday. Upper 30’s and even 41 Saturday. Back in the 20’s at night so loaner Hornshoe groomer should be able to womp up some magic to keep the trails going.

Been a troubling year for reckless behavior. No reports on our trails, but some skirmishes on some northern county trails. High speed passing on the left, sleds in the middle of a group hugging inside corners, and sleds running side by side on the trails. What is it? Inexperience? No fear? We can’t police it, and the sheriff and DNR have limited resources. If you see something, and can, try and call people out nicely and ask what they are thinking. We want you to come and have fun, but go home in one piece so you can come back.

Don’t forget the Hornshoe Brat Fry. Trail 17 at the Hornshoe Kiosk, and Mattke Rd. THIS SATURDAY, February 14, 11 AM to 2 PM.

Have Fun!!! Mark

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – February 9, 2026

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: good solid base

Date of Report: February 9, 2026

Area Report:

The solid base and hard work of the groomer drivers are keeping the trails in near excellent condition.  Mother nature will be attempting to poke holes in the system with the warmer temperatures and little new white gold this week.  The sled traffic slows considerably in the week, so the trails should maintain status until the weekend.

With the warm temperatures, the trails will get soft this weekend with the normal weekend traffic.  Hodag Sno-Trails will continue to be grooming nightly to maintain the system.  The drivers have reported some icy corners due to the lack of fresh white gold.

The lakes are in good shape and marked accordingly.  

Get out and ride, and enjoy the conditions.  

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 8, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12”

Date of Report: February 8, 2026

Area Report:

We have groomed the entire Conover trail system Friday and Saturday night. The usual trails that get a lot of traffic were their usual condition, we did our best to smooth them back out. Traffic was low last night, so hopefully with the cold temps last night, they froze in nice and flat. 

We keep getting very light snow falls of an inch or less. We could use a good 4-6 wet snow fall to freshen up the trails, but we are still working with what we have. A few areas are getting bare but not bad. Road routes do have some snow on them, but towns have been plowing them off and winging the edges off. 

Remember to follow the barrels when crossing lakes. There is a large ice heave out in the middle of North Twin Lake. A few sleds have gone wide of the barrels and hit the ice heave where it is quite a bit higher than the rest of the ice. If you cross where the barrels are with lights, it is pretty flat now.  Also, the night time speed limit is 55 mph everywhere. 

Right Right, Ride Safe
