Trail Conditions: Closed
Snow Cover: 0-5
Date of Report: February 16, 2026
Area Report:
By recommendation of the Langlade County Snowmobile Council, the Langlade County Snowmobile Trail System, including all state-funded trails, closed on Sunday, February 15, 2026.
At this point, the closure is expected to be temporary but is weather-dependent. The purpose of this temporary closure is to preserve the remaining base during a period of very warm weather and possible rain. The Langlade County snowmobile trail system will reopen when/if weather and trail conditions improve.
The Langlade County Snowmobile Ordinance prohibits snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles from operating on the trails after the official closing date.
ATVs are not allowed on snowmobile trails until 10 days after the opening of the snowmobile trails and are not allowed on the trails when snowmobile trail system is closed or when open the temperature is above 28° F. UTVs are not allowed on the Langlade County Snowmobile trail system at any time due to the weight and width of the machines.

Snowmobile Report – February 16, 2026
After a bit of a warm up Ashland County Trails remain in overall Good condition. The southern part of the county is in good condition and trails in the northern part of the county are in fair to good condition, all of the county with a few bare spots on the corner and roads. Open water in some spots. Ride with caution. With snow in the forcast and cooler temps we hope to get groomers out soon.
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.

Snow Cover: 8-10″
Date of Report: February 16, 2026
Area Report:
At 8:00 a.m., it’s 33 degrees out with sunny skies and temps rising to 46 degrees today followed
by another day in the 40’s tomorrow.
Despite the sun and high temps, we did get out in the evenings and last groomed 8E early
Saturday a.m., 2W, 8W, 51, 15N, & 6E Saturday evening, and 15S & 11 early Sunday morning.
Our trails are now in late season riding conditions and are in fair to poor shape except Day Lake
Road (8 & 51) and 11 which are in good shape. We have lost a lot of base and you will
encounter puddles in the open areas, bare inside corners, and mostly an ice base due to the
daily melting and freezing pattern that will last a few more days.
Hopefully, later this week we will cool down and get some much-needed snow!
Thanks to all that supported us at this past weeks fundraisers held at the Rustic Roadhouse on
Thursday and at the Guides Inn on Sunday. They were both well attended.
Please ride safe, ride right, and enjoy the trails and area businesses while in our neck of the
woods!
Look for an updated trail report on Thursday, 2/19.

Snow Cover: solid base in the woods, depleted in open areas
Date of Report: February 16, 2026
Area Report:
We will start with the good….The snow base in the wooded trails has held up as expected. There is some snirt showing through and the corners can be icy.
The exposed trails, highlines, rail beds, south edges of trails along roadways are thin and show dirt areas. The road routes are down to the pavement.
If you plan your rides out, there is good riding to be had. There will be sections that the trails are in poor condition (open areas).
Overall, they are in fair condition.
Let’s hope for some snow later this week. The trails need a refresher.
Stay right, and have fun.

Snowmobile Information:
Will report fair today just due to the strong sun and 42 degrees old Frosty is on Slim-Fast. High of 52 by Monday.
From Hornshoe Trailboss Nick:
Friday the 13th brings unseasonably warm weather. Looks like it may last about five days with hopes of cooler temps and snow to follow. Trails are holding but can’t say if they will make it though the whole warm spell. Road routes are deteriorating fast. Trails in the sun will suffer the most. Not much we can do but pray for more snow. Will groom as much as temperatures will allow. Slow down in the corners. Snow is soft so you will slide into another sled very easily. Respect the land you ride on and keep between the blazers. Get out and enjoy what we have while you can. Have fun and enjoy your weekend. Remember to keep it at 55 at night max.

Another day of the warm up. Amazing how well in woods trails are hold. Even more amazing is there is SNOW all be it mushy covering the grade in town. Under 32 at night is great as it is freezing up. Next SNOW Wednesday night.
Only rode a short ride east on 10E yesterday. Trails in the woods & on the south side of the road are in pretty good shape. Road crossing & road running has some ice but also a lot of bare. Northside trails as you get out in the Anvil lake & farther north open to road are breaking down. Again in the wood is pretty good. There are birmmed corners, ice & some breakdown. This was a ride only beyond the Three Lakes/Brule trails connect. Then headed back home.
