Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – February 21, 2018

Reporter:Price County Tourism Department

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 1 – 8 inch trail base

Date of Report: February 21, 2018

Area Report:

All trails are open and they are in excellent to good condition with ongoing trail grooming. The trails received a couple inches of fresh snow Monday. The snowmobile trail base may be thin or there may be bare spots on trails near towns, in open areas, in logging areas, and at road crossings; road routes may be bare. To view detailed trail condition reports, go to www.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.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – February 21, 2018

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 2-3″ of packed trail base

Date of Report: February 21, 2018

Area Report:

The good news, is that we didn’t lose any base with the weather early this week. The bad news, is that we didn’t get any measureable snow from what the original forecast included.

The groomers have been out on a regular basis, some days were skipped with the warm weather and sleeting conditions. The trails are flat and are in fair to good condition.

The logging roads and other areas out of direct sun still have plenty of snow. There are corners that are icy, so take that in consideration when out on the trails.

There are areas that were in direct sunlight, road routes, trails along road ways, power lines, etc. that have bare spots and snirt.

The trails are flat, but thin on snow in areas. Just take this in consideration when out on the trails. They are rideable, just not optimal.

February 21, 2018 – 7:00am

TRAILS FAIR ON AVERAGE

5 degrees at 7:00am with a high of 23. Cold again tonight in the single digits. No SNOW overnight. Evil sun will be making an appearance today. Today is Wednesday which means the Sno-Eagles Guided Trail Rides with Ron. Meet at 9am at the Historic Railroad Depot on the “grade” in town across from Friendship House.

Short report this morning. While trails are on average FAIR. In town, trails that run along side roads on the north side & wide open areas are POOR. Riding on Monday best riding was the 13N Trails heading way north, Trail 7, 3S-the “grade” heading out of town were GOOD & SNOW covered. With the sun today that might not hold.

Groomers were out last night grooming. Did see them heading out going north on 13N/10W. Will update around lunch time if there is more information.

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. No surface slush. Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open. Please do not trespass on private land.

Do the Dance! Want to hear you all the way up here!
See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Washburn County, Wisconsin – February 21, 2018

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 5 to 8 inch base

Date of Report: February 21, 2018

Area Report:

All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in good condition with a 5 to 8 inch base. Sunday evening and into Monday brought a fresh 4 to 6 inches of powder – the new snow is a great addition to the already good base! The base might be a little slim at road crossings as we had a snowy dirt mixture before the new snow. Always use caution on the trails as you may encounter active trail grooming equipment. Enjoy the trails!

Took a nice ride yesterday. Trails really benefited from a few inches of fresh snow. It’s that time of the year when conditions can change rapidly but for now I would call our trails GOOD and they should be good through the next week. But I will continue to update on a regular basis!

A huge thank you to all who attended the Winterfest Rendezvous and those who purchased tickets on our Arctic Cat Raffle. Congratulations to winner Dave Mueller! Dave is a club member and helps out at Our Duck Race!

Thank you to all of our volunteers that made our event a huge success! Some of these guys took 2 days off of work to help set the tent and organize everything. This is a lot of work, but so rewarding to know that it went so well! Proceeds from the Winterfest and raffles go towards trail maintenance!

I am proud of how everyone pitched in to make this such a great event: from the people and businesses who donated raffle items, to those who attended and purchased raffle tickets and especially the volunteers! We look forward to next years events!

Manitowish Waters , Wisconsin - Snowmobiling Conditions & News

The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today. Support the club by attending their special events or contributing to the “trail pigs” at local establishments along the trails. Or show your support by becoming a member!

Enjoy, and please ride responsibly and safely!
