SNO-EAGLES
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
ARE CLOSED

Finally some SNOW! Eagle River got 5+- inches of SNOW over the last couple days. Combination of real snow & Lake Effect.

Sno-Eagles has been finishing up brushing, limbing & marking trails. Work also continues on a few re-routes. Lots of high winds yesterday meaning all trails will have to be checked for downed trees & limbs.

Going to be a while before trails are ready to open. First the Deer Gun season runs ’til Sunday. We also need lots more SNOW to even consider opening.

Temps are going to be in the low 20’s to high teens through December 11 so moving in the right direction for a good freeze down of the trails! SNOW in the forecast off & on during that time. Lake have a long way to go.

Think Cold! Later on a Snow Dance!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – November 26, 2025

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 8-10″

Date of Report: November 26, 2025

Snowmobile Information:

OK snow fans, the first big balloon has gone up. I have about 8″ on the ground here in Lac du Flambeau, and the winds are shaking the house at times, even though they are northwest and we are more or less protected here. Could be gusts up to 40-55mph later. North of here they are getting hammered. Power is out all over, trees are down, roads are icy, snow is deep. The weather outside is frightful, but the squirrels and I think it is delightful. Isn’t it cool? Then you ask, is that Toulish guy “funny”? Nothing trail wise to report other than the steely eyed professionals at Horseshoe command are ready to pounce as soon as conditions and calendar warrant. We also sold out on tickets for the December calendar raffle. We start drawing December 1st. Thank you and good luck to all that participated. Sounds like all the models indicate a cold and snowy December, so hopefully we jump out of the blocks and run this winter. Be safe over the next few days, and Happy Thanksgiving! Mark

Great turnout of hard workers. Keith and Nick are making a run of the whole circuit in the next week to fine tune signs. A big thank you to the tribal public works for doing roadwork in the Raven lake area, down by Crawling Stone and Moss Lake, and on the main grade on 17. Wide open and beautiful. We will have to keep an eye on rocks as things settle out. A reminder that Northern Hornshoe calendar raffle tickets are still on sale through November. Cash Raffle drawn daily. $20 a ticket and $100 and $500 winners depending on the day.We also have some cool apparel on sale on our website at Hornshoe.org, Pretty cool website. We were honored to be awarded Snowmobile Friendly City this spring.Take a look at some of those handsome faces on the website – we are friendly, happy happy happy, and lots of fun. As a group we spend a lot of time making our trails what they are, but we have a good time doing it. If you do not belong to a club, I always urge people to do so. You learn a lot about the mountains of work and hundreds of volunteers that make this sport what it is. Keep up the snow dances. Mark

Area Report:

Well, the time has come to unlimber the old Snowtracks report. They did not shun my login, so I am good for now. This year I scaled down to five snowmobile clubs-Mercer, Cruisers, White Thunder, Midnite Trail Riders in Green Bay, and my main squeeze, and the home of my reports, and my home, Northern Hornshoes, in Lac du Flambeau. We are doing another calendar raffle this year in December. $20 a ticket, and 31 chances to win. $100 winners and $500 winners. Last year I told 8 out of the 30 winners, including TWO $500 winners. ( And no, I did not win. Rats.) But I am having fun with the bragging rights!! Clubs need your help. With the minimal snow, groomer dollars were down, but they basically help cover overhead, not capitol improvements. Our capitol needs improvements. When you see those steely eyed professionals at the table in front of the hardware store, or the grocery store, stop and say Hi, and thank you. Until then watch for snow. Mark

Snowmobile Information:

OUR CLUB BACKGROUND

Our club has been active for 38 years now. We started out as a small club in 1988 named The Neillsville Rec Riders, designing ATV routes that accessed the Clark County Forest Trail System, via roads. We then created our first cross county un-groomed snowmobile and winter ATV trail system from Neillsville to Granton. In 1993 we purchased a used Bombardier groomer to start grooming our trail for snowmobiling. In 1996 we expanded our snowmobile and winter ATV trail system from Neillsville to the Clark County Forest Trail near Hatfield.

In 1997 we added a tractor and new drag to our grooming fleet to keep up with the grooming schedule. In 1999 we further expanded our growing trail system with a snowmobile trail running from Granton to Sherwood. In 2001 we made a big achievement in trail devolpement by creating a snowmobile trail from Neillsville to Loyal, giving us a total of 56 miles in groomed snowmobile trails across private lands. In 2002 we had to add a second tractor and drag to keep up with the high grooming demand. After receiving heavy, drifting snows during the ’06-’08 seasons while continuing to get stuck with our tractors, we felt the need to add a newer tracked groomer to our fleet.

We purchased a Piston Bully trailer groomer to keep up with the demanding trail grooming where our tractors fell short, in deep snow and eliminated 1 tractor and drag! We groom our trails 20′ wide where ever possible and they are the best marked in the county, you won’t get lost on our trail system! In 2010, we had to cease the operation of winter ATV use on all of our snowmobile trails, due to increasing abuse from disrespectful ATV’ers creating problems on private lands. Moving forward in 2011 we strive to keep up with the best snowmobile trails in the county and that is out main focus moving on. Upgrading in 2017 we purchased a 2007 Prinoth BR180 tracked groomer adding two tracked machines to our fleet. In 2021 with the need for a newer, larger, more durable tracked machine we decided to sell our 1988 Piston Bully and 2007 Prinoth and purchased a 2008 Piston Bully Trail Bully that could handle the job both older machines were doing.

The Clark County Forest ATV and Snowmobile Trails are maintained by the Parks and Forest Department as well as the 9 other clubs that maintain the rest of the trails in Clark County. Our club would not be where it is today without the help and permission of the 89 landowners who allow us to cross their lands. With out them we would have no trails. All of our members that help out, donate their time and it is much appreciated when we get compliments on how well of a job we have d
