Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 6 – 8 ” Base

Date of Report: January 20, 2026

Area Report:

At this time ALL Trails in Washburn County are now officially open. With the recent snow accumulations trails are now packed and groomed and have a sustainable trail base. Additional snow accumulations have helped the trails out tremendously and grooming reports have been coming in with positive feedback. All trails across the County are in good condition. Remember that grooming and maintenance activities continue throughout the season. Use caution while riding, watch for trail equipment, and enjoy the trails responsibly. If you encounter any trail issues such as downed trees, limbs, or debris, please report them to Washburn County Forestry at 715-635-4490.

Please be advised that ice conditions continue to vary and traveling on any lake is never 100% safe. Washburn County Forestry does not maintain anything past the high ground point. Please use caution if you are out on any lake.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 20, 2026

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12

Date of Report: January 20, 2026

Area Report:

Groomers have been out flattening trails and with the cold temps and they are freezing down nice and flat so it’s made for great riding! Layer up and hit the trails! Lots of amazing businesses to stop at and warm up. Always remember to stay on the trail on the lakes, especially with the hard frozen snow there can be drifts and ice.

Ride right and ride safe!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – January 19, 2026

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 12-14

Date of Report: January 19, 2026

Area Report:

At 8:00 AM it’s -4 degrees out with sunny skies and a high of 0 degrees today. We will then be followed by a very cold weather pattern the rest of the week.

We last groomed 2W, 8W, 15N, and 6E Saturday night and 15S, 11, and 8E early Sunday morning. We skipped our Sunday p.m. and Monday a.m. routes last night and will be back at this evening.

With all the heavy holiday weekend traffic, our groomer drivers reported the trails to be very mogully upon going out on their routes, but were smoothed out during their shift. Most riders we talked to said the riding was great whatever local area trails they rode this weekend.

Thanks to all that attended our breakfast fundraiser at the Boulder Beer Bar on Sunday as it was a huge success!

Look for an updated trail report on Thursday, 1/22.

As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.
All in all trails are Great!

The COLD continues & will continue all week into next week. Below zero at night all week. Single digits above zero or below zero highs during the day. Chance of SNOW tomorrow morning is only SNOW in the forecast. Trail will be crusty & icy not only in the corners but everywhere. So slow down.

If you ride during the cold snap be sure to tell someone where you are riding; don’t ride alone; fully charged phone; dress in layers; tell someone where you are headed; stop more often to warm up & drink warm drinks, refrain from drinking alcohol. Heated gloves, socks & vests or jackets under your snowmobile jacket would good too. Last BE SURE YOUR SLED GAS TANK IS FULL to prevent frosting in the tank.

GTS Tracking shows the following trails groomed last night

Right click the photo to enlarge. Green mean groomed last night. Blue means groomed Sunday into Monday. Orange means groomed Saturday into Sunday. Grey means not groomed in over 3 days.

Couple of trail updates

The Wisconsin River Bridge section of 10/13 is frozen & very rough. Do not go off the trail. Not safe.

Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. Club is working on a re route.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. Safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail have been installed.

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.

All in all trails are Great!

Couple new inches of SNOW overnight. Headed into a really COLD spell for the next week. Single digits during the day, even some below zero highs. Double digit below zero at night. The SNOW last night looks like the last SNOW for a while. Maybe some Lake Effect.

Base is hard ice with plenty of SNOW on top. With the cold coming SNOW will get crusty & there may be “fast” aka slippery conditions. So slow down.

GTS Tracking shows almost a full grooming last night. Here is what was NOT GROOMED
Trail 10E & the spurs to Chanticleer, Grampa Graham, 9 mile trail
Trail 1 & 17 from Trail 3 intersection north of town. Trail 1 runs to Eagle Lake boat launch. 17 connects with the Phelps trails

Couple of notices:

Trail 10/13 aka Wisconsin River Bridge section is open frozen on the trail base. Don’t off trail ride as there is still water off trail. Trail is icy & rough.

Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. Club is working on a re route.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. Safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail have been installed.

Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter.
