Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – March 1, 2018

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 7-13 inch base

Date of Report: March 1, 2018

Area Report:

All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in excellent condition with a 7 to 13 inch base even after a few days of warmer weather. Please be aware that the base might be a little slim at road crossings as we had a snowy dirt mixture before the new snow received over the weekend. Always use caution on the trails as volunteers are out grooming daily to keep them in the great condition they are already in. Enjoy the trails!

Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – March 1, 2018

Reporter:Price County Tourism Department

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 1-15

Date of Report: March 1, 2018

Area Report:

Price County snowmobile trails are in good condition. Trails that were groomed this week are reported to be in very good to excellent condition. The trails have a good base in most areas, however, some corners may be icy, bare spots are starting in some open areas, approaches at road crossing are starting to become bare in some areas, and road routes are bare. Spring riding conditions can deteriorate quickly. Detailed trail condition reports can be view on our website at pricecountywi.net.  

Some Price County trails are on private land. The use of the private land is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. Please stay on marked trails, especially across fields. There have been many complaints from landowners due to snowmobilers not staying on the trail and riding all over their fields. To avoid having these trails closed, PLEASE respect the private land that is open to snowmobiling. 

Several miles of trail are open for winter ATV and UTV riding including the Flambeau Trail System, Solberg Trail, and Georgetown Trail. The Price County portion of the Pine Line Rail Trail (Prentice to Ogema), Snowmobile Trail 189 (Ogema to Timm’s Hill), and Snowmobile Trails 116, 181 and 118 (Prentice area loop) are also open to winter ATV and UTV riding when the trail is officially open to snowmobile use and the temperature is 28 degrees or colder.

You can order visitor information or maps from the Price County Tourism Department website, www.pricecountywi.net, or call 715-339-4505, plus you can listen to recorded trail reports or talk to the friendly Tourism Department staff.

There were some bare corners but they were able to pull snow in from off the trail to cover all of the bare spots. trails have a rock hard base with some loose snow on top and it is snowing pretty good as we speak.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – March 1, 2018

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Icy hard base on most trails – snow cover varies from lots to none

Date of Report: March 1, 2018

Area Report:

March 1, 2018 – 7:15am

WARM WEATHER CONTINUES
WITH A LITTLE DROP IN TEMPS

Well a little drop in temperatures in Sno-Eagles Country.  24 this morning with a high of 37.  SNOW is falling 6 miles east of Eagle River.  Weather guys forecasting around an inch.  And it will be overcast all day today.  Going in the right direction!

Trails that were in Good or even better conditions have down graded to FAIR in many areas.  In town trails are POOR.  What was very mushy & water is frozen at this point this morning. So conditions are really icy. Road trails for the most part have no snow on them.  Especially those running north & south.  Moving out of town conditions improve but it is a struggle to get to them without a bit of adventure sledding.  In woods trails particularly way out east, north & southwest are FAIR with even some areas of GOOD but this is getting far & few between. Trailering & dropping off to ride might be good.  At this point there will be grooming when the temperatures dictate.  Stay tuned.

Wednesday & Thursday Sno-Eagles Guided Trail rides have been canceled for now.

The section of the Chanticleer Inn Trail off of Trail 10E that takes riders to Eagle is mushy & wet at the entrance heading to the lake.  Trail Boss is monitoring that area and will close if conditions continue.

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. With the log piles and icy grainy conditions in that section it would be good to slow down. Minimal grooming due to the logging operation.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange easy to see reflective barrels.  Please stay by the barrels to be safe.  Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open.  Please do not trespass on private land.

To keep the riding season going it’s going to take everyone Doin’ the SNOW Dance & THINKING COLD!!

See ya on the trails again real soon!

Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – February 28, 2018

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 8-12″ in the wood

Date of Report: February 28, 2018

Area Report:

Here are your current conditions:
Mother Nature is winning right now. The sun has been shinning and the temps have risen. The trails have taken a toll, but they are not gone yet. In the woods, trails are still going to be good. You might find a bare spot, but not too bad. The road trails and in town have been hit a little harder and any areas with direct sunlight. We are looking at some more snowfall next week. It’s not over yet.

Lakes are all marked, please stay close to barrels.

Please visit our Facebook page for more info.

Trail Report – : Mercer, Wisconsin – February 28, 2018

Reporter:

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12

Date of Report: February 28, 2018

Area Report:

The 12” of snow we received last week has added to the base but with 2 warm days behind us and few more to go, the trails have taken a hit as the meltdown has begun. The railroad grade, town roads and in town trails are melting away quickly. When you get out of town and into the woods, the trails are good. 

With the possibility of colder temps and snow next week, we think it’s safe to say we are not done yet.

 All and all, riders are reporting GOOD trails in the woods, going to the flowage and around the area. If you want to ride, you CAN find some good riding

 

If you would like more information on the Mercer Area, please give us a call at 715-476-2389 or visit our website at mercercc.com. Think snow!

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – February 28, 2018

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: diminishing quickly

Date of Report: February 28, 2018

Area Report:

The sun and warm temperatures are taking a heavy hit to the trails.  The trails are in fair condition with spots that are poor.  The trail base is soft and mushy at this point. 

The trails that are exposed to the sun have bare spots and snirt.  The forest roads are fair, but to have a full day ride, you will most likely encounter areas that are poor.  The trail into town has bare spots.  The further you can go out of town the better off they are.

Grooming activity has been halted until cooler weather returns – hopefully.

When riding these conditions, please stay on the marked trails at all time.  It can be enticing to go off the trails to hit some plentiful snow, but the ramifications with an upset landowner can be devastating to the trail system.

Could be the last runs of the year in the next few days.
