EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
EARLY SEASON RIDING – Fair on average – Good North

The temps have dropped but not much new SNOW the forecast. Overnight for the next 3-4 days will be in the low teens or lower. 20’s during the day. What isn’t in the forecast is SNOW. Need a SNOW DANCE!

Longer report again this morning to give you some ideas on riding.

The best riding is still heading north out of town. That would be Trail 10/13. Icy corners most everywhere. Wisconsin River Bridge area of Trail 10/13 that heads west had slushy spots on the approach to the bridge on both sides. Wasn’t out there but have to believe it’s crusty & rough now with the cold. There is room to get around those spots. In town trails are crusty, but SNOW covered especially heading south through town on Trail 10/13.

Trail 10E is ragged from the turn where 10E & Alt 13 split. Icy & thinner on the first section to the Bloom Rd crossing. Road icy. Where the one way section starts there is a total burn through. Once at the Hockey Arena it improves. All SNOW covered but icy with not a lot of lubrication. When trail merges back together riding still fair with some very icy corners. Pick up the Three Lakes & take a ride on what the local call the Kimball Creek trail. Into Three Lakes & back up on Alt 13 to Eagle River. Yesterday afternoon there was fair amount of traffic going east & returning west. BE SURE YOU ARE GOING THE CORRECT WAY ON THE ONE WAYS. There were several riders going the wrong way yesterday.

Nearly a full groomer session last night & very early this morning.

NOT GROOMED – Trail 1N heading to Eagle Lake, the spur that takes you Trigs Shell & Trails 70W toward St. Germain(very thin snow), Trail 17S toward Sugar Camp & Trail 7 aka Paintball Field

NOTE – DEERVIEW LANE SECTION OF TRAIL 1N THAT HEADS TO EAGLE LAKE STILL HAS HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. Slow down & be aware.

Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are open & marked. Take it slow. Hard rough & some shiny ice. Always stay by the orange reflective barrels to be safe.

Some reminders when you ride. Have a Map or Phone App. Please no off trail riding & stop at driveways. Also as you ride you might meet a groomer. They are big & can’t pull over for us. So pull over & let the driver direct you. And oh ya give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!!!

Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! THINK COLD!

See ya on the trails real soon!!

We are OPEN! Trails are cleared, rolled, and groomed! Thank you to all our groomers for all your hard work after days of heavy snowfalls and clearing lots of fallen trees.

Snowmobile Information:

WE ARE OPEN. As of 1/6/2023 Trails are 100% cleared, rolled, and groomed. Please be respectful of all posted signage and private property that land owners are kind enough to let us use. Snow is softer due to warmer temperatures the last few days. Garden Lake has been staked. Lake Namakagon is not staked: due to snow cover, ice depth continues to be variable. Use Extreme Caution if riding on the lake. There will be large equipment on Trail 31 into Sawyer County for the next couple of days so please avoid.

The Cable Area in Northern Wisconsin has over 1,200 miles of interconnecting snowmobile trail systems, making it one of the largest trail systems in the U.S. Uncrowded trails and the solitude of the Chequamegon National Forest bring snowmobilers back again and again to the Cable Area.

Reporter:minocqua

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 8-12

Date of Report: January 6, 2023

Area Report:

We did get 3-4 inches of heavy wet snow over the last few days and really helped with our trail system, some corners are icy so slow down. Most lakes are marked so stay by the markers because you might hit slush. Waiting on Lake Minocqua yet as there are still spots by the islands that are not thick enough until we get cold weather, forecast looks now to be below freezing all week. Savemore bay has plenty of ice from hwy 70 west trail to the bearskin trail but we cant just mark part of the lake until the the rest is good to go and safe.

Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – January 6, 2023

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 12-14″

Date of Report: January 6, 2023

Area Report:

Snowmobile clubs and county staff have cleared a majority of snowmobile trails after the December storm event. Most of these trails have been groomed at least once. All trails will officially open as of January 6th. Please be advised that portions of Trail 8, west of County Highway K, may not be fully cleared and groomed before the weekend. Trails in the Birchwood area are completely cleared and while we anticipate that all trails will be groomed, there may be sections not completed by the weekend. In addition, Trail 239 in the Shell Lake area has not been groomed due to wet conditions in a swamp crossing. Trail conditions should be excellent in those areas that grooming has been completed. Please ride with caution as we continue to finalize trail opening efforts and stay on designated trail surfaces.
