Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – March 2, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Thin

Date of Report: March 2, 2026

Area Report:

We groomed every trail in Conover Saturday night. On Sunday, we hit our busier trails one more time. This Monday morning is one of the last cold mornings this week. We are in for a warm up and possible rain at end of week. We will continue to monitor the trails, but I’m guessing that we won’t be grooming unless we cold and some more snow. March has dropped some heavy snow in the past, so stay tuned. 

We had a great day at Twin Lake Pub for the annual Poler Run Party. Thank you to all that participated and the great baskets that were donated for raffles. The proceeds from all these events go towards keeping fuel in the groomers and the barn heated. There is still time to pick up Big Cash Raffle tickets at our participating Conover locations. Draw will be at last meeting at Bauers Dam on March 10th.

Woods riding amazing

Above is a photo of grooming last night in Sno-Eagles Country!  Looks to be in the Trail 10W/7 area.  Just an educated guess on that as rode that area yesterday afternoon.  It was full of loose white SNOW.  Would never have thought it would be that GREAT anywhere on the trails system.  Rode out to 10W/7 by way of 70W/7 to the connect with 10 in the St. Germain area.  Rode 10/7 east all the way the intersection where Sno-Eagles connects with Conover.  ALL was like this photo.  Plenty of SNOW.  The Wisconsin River Bridge area of the trail was frozen hard.  Did not see any soft slush anywhere.  This was late afternoon yesterday.  Conditions out there change very quickly to be prepared for slush.  

Trail 10/13 heading into town yesterday was SNOW covered ALL the way through town.  The thick birm that starts by Friendship House has plenty of SNOW.  Road/street crossing are wet, slushy.  Grade heading south was also white with plenty of SNOW.  

Trail 10E is SNOW covered ALL the way to MJ Gas Station which is 7 miles east on the SOUTHSIDE (heading west) of the one way section.  The one way section heading west into town is on the northside & have burn throughs especially in the area from the bridge by Boat Sport to just past Catfish Lake Rd (which is across the hwy).  From there into town it is pretty GOOD.  Taylor Lk Rd is icy but has cover.  Spruce Ln not so much.

It will be 37 today with full sun starting around lunchtime until 5pm ish.  So these conditions will not last much longer.

Here is what was groomed last night 

Trails heading NORTH out of town:
Trail 10/13 
Trail 13N to Conover connect
Trail 10W/7
Trail 17N/3  
Trail 10/13 heading south through town to Bloom Rd

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. Use Trail 10E or Trail 17S to get to Three Lakes.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail. Expect frozen surface slush.  CATFISH LAKE TRL NOT MARKED THIS SEASON.  Do not recommend riding at night as there are areas that are thin or not frozen.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – March 2, 2026

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: hard ice base

Date of Report: March 2, 2026

Area Report:

This time of the year, weather conditions can change the trails significantly.  Last Friday was one of those days were the warm temperatures took a large toll on the good conditions.  We are down to a solid ice base on most trails.  The road routes are down to the pavement with little to no snow covering.

Riding can be performed with scratchers.  We put on nearly 50 miles yesterday, but scratchers were used 100%.  

The outlook for this week and the upcoming weekend is not good – more warm weather.  

This is the “late season” riding report.  They are “fair” currently.  They will move to poor without new snow.

If you choose to ride, stay on the trail. It will be so tempting to try and grab some snow off the trail, don’t do it, we need to keep the sleds between the blazers.

Grooming has been suspended for Hodag Sno-Trails at this time.

The next few days could be it until fresh snow arrives.  

The conditions will be updated as they change.

Snowmobile Report –March 1, 2026

The Ashland County Snowmobile Alliance Clubs have decide to cease all grooming operations starting Monday 3/2/26.  The trails will remain open and are in fair condition.  Trail 16 to 13 in Marengo is in very poor condition,  lots of bare spots and open water from Trail 9 intersection to the East.  Closure will depend on what Mother Nature brings us in the next week.

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.

FAIR to GOOD – some POOR – Very icy
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

March 1st & still riding!  Conditions are all over the place as we head to toward the end of the season!  First, SLOW DOWN & STAY ON YOUR SIDE. It is slippery out there.  Again, woods riding, south & east side of road trails have the most SNOW.  Loose SNOW is getting to be a premium  Found it in the woods.  Corners are icy & some are birmmed.  Wide open areas are grim.  

High today only 21.  Tomorrow 38 during the day & down to 3.  Then heading into 40’s during the day & 20’s at night.  TIME TO RIDE TODAY!!! No SNOW until maybe end of week.  

   

Groomers out in full force last night.  Only trails not groomed were 70W/17S/7 & Trail 10E.  Both are very icy as they have large sections that run along roads.  Southside section on 10E & then into the woods are covered by are hard SNOW & icy.  Northside of the one way into town has bare spots.  If you ride on 10E go East & pick up Phelps or Three Lakes trails OR head into the UP.  70W is on the northside of Hwy 70W & hard ice in open area.  Haven’t ridden 17S, but it is on the east side & may be ok.  When you hit Sugar Camp trails it is woods riding for the most part.  7 aka Paintball Field should be ok as it is also a lot of woods riding.  No report on conditions when you connect with Sugar Camp along Hwy H.             

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. Use Trail 10E or Trail 17S to get to Three Lakes.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail. Expect frozen surface slush.  CATFISH LAKE TRL NOT MARKED THIS SEASON.  Do not recommend riding at night as there are areas that are thin or not frozen.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 28, 2026

Reporter:mcpossin

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Brown in sun to 8″ in shade

Date of Report: February 28, 2026

Snowmobile Information:

Yesterday was 50 degrees. Trail Boss Nick reports most of our system is fair to OK. Out on 17 where the sun hits it on 47 is thin to marginal. Saw a lot of trailers headed north today, but not a lot of sled traffic when we headed to Wausau at Noon. There are a lot of ice spots on corners, and some of the straightaways that get sun. Be careful and enjoy what you can. March can be un predictable. Not a lot of snow in the forecast. Ride safe and ride sober! We want you to have fun, but keep it cool. Mark, Mary, and Trail Boss Nick of the Northern Hornshoes.

Last day of February & we are still riding.  Yesterday it was warm & evil sun was out most of the day.  Took a toll on open areas, trails on north & west side of roads.  We are riding today. Will head east on Trail 10E as the south side is SNOW covered.  Expecting Adventure Sledding today.  Full report either later tonight or early tomorrow morning.  This IS the weekend to ride even if not perfect. If you ride pick woods trails.  Expect ice everywhere as it went from high 40’s yesterday to single digit overnight.   Mid March brings higher day time temps. So…….this is the weekend to ride!

Here’s a screen shot from GTS – Groomer Tracking System of last nights grooming.  Right click on it for a bigger picture.

Trail 10E to Three Lakes connect; Trail 70W to St. Germain connect; Trail 17/7 off Trail 70W to Sugar Camp connects (7 to Hwy D & 17S to connect along Hwy 17S); Trails 10W/13N through town heading north; WI River Bridge section of 10W/13N & 10W/7 to Sayner & St. Germain.   

Lots of grooming with the drivers going out later waiting for the temps to drop.  Again, expect icy conditions.  No higher than 20 today.  Same tomorrow with below zero tomorrow night.

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. Use Trail 10E or Trail 17S to get to Three Lakes.
