GOOD NEWS!

The Frosty Club groomed the entire system again Monday night and Trail Boss Rob says they groomed out pretty nice. Still snow to be found on the trail. Roads, towns, and gas are a problem but if you get in the woods you will still find good trails.

Warm again today–approaching 40 but no sun which is good. Rain is predicted but lets hope for it to miss us or turn into snow. Colder temps and some snow predicted for Thursday.

Trail Report – : Tomahawk, Wisconsin – February 14, 2023

Reporter:Tomahawk Chamber of Commerce

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: –

Date of Report: February 14, 2023

Area Report:


LINCOLN COUNTY: All Zones open. ONEIDA COUNTY: Open.

Recent warm temperatures mean heavily trafficked and open areas are thin or bare. While wooded areas are better, forecasted rain means likely changing trail conditions this week. Continue to keep to marked trails only, especially on waterways. 

ATVs are only allowed on designated trails when temperatures are below 28F. No UTVs.

As always, we remind riders to stay on marked trails. Off trail riding is trespassing and could result in closure or loss of trails and citations and fines for those who participate.

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – February 14, 2023

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 8 to 12 inches

Date of Report: February 14, 2023

Area Report:

Well, we just had our spring thaw like everyone else. Grooming has stopped on the east side of the county until after we receive more snowfall… hopefully on Thursday of this week.  West end of the county is grooming only at night once the temps cool back down. Also, hoping for snow on Thursday.

Some trails are in fair condition for riding – Trail #2, trail #107, Trail #16, Trail #116, Trail #113, Trail #18

Additional trails in poor to fair condition – Trail #111, Trail #15 S. 

Trail 15N to intersection remains closed with a bridge issue

Trail #111 to Sidnaw is open but in need of more snow.

Temps are going back down as the week moves along…. and all groomers will be back out on the trails as soon as we receive additional snowfall.  We will update this report once we have new information to share.

Please be sure to give the Groomers you meet or pass along the trails plenty of room to navigate around each other and always try to stay on your side of the trail.

Happy & Safe Trails!!
