Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – December 23, 2020

Reporter:Holly t
Trail Conditions: Closed
Snow Cover: 1-3 inches
Date of Report: December 23, 2020
Area Report:

Trails in Eagle River & All of Vilas County remain CLOSED

A little more wet packy SNOW yesterday with sleet off & on most of the day.  Totals of SNOW today could be 1-4 inches SNOW. Mixed with rain & or sleet. With a good chance of Lake Effect on top of that.  Moving in the right direction. Tonight temps will drop quickly after midnight. On Thursday, Christmas Eve we enter the freezer.  High of 9 & low of 5 on the 24th. Looks to be single digits at night for a week.  Still need more SNOW.  KEEP DANCIN’!

When there is a good 6 inches of SNOW on the trails panning should start. Ground, swamps & other wet areas are frozen up pretty good. 

Eagle & Catfish lakes are building ice.  Stay off for now until the Sno-Eagles determine both are safe & marked. 

All trail inspections in Vilas County have been completed.  Now we wait. With not much new to report.

A few updates on the trails:

Trail 13 that heads west of Eagle River has a re route in the section that comes out on Oak Lane by the Pine Gables Restaurant.  There is new construction going on so the club has done a temporary move over of the trail.  Next year the trail will be moved slightly south permanently.

Also the lake spur off of the Eagle Lake Trail that takes you to Eagle Waters Resort is back open!!!  The owner Laura Koranda & adjacent landowners worked hard to have this happen!

The Eagle River Volunteer Fire Department has been out on Silver Lake monitoring ice thickness & quality.  Just might be a Ice Castle this winter!!  Stay tuned.
                                           
Let’s get a loud SNOW DANCE GOING!  Can’t wait to see ya all out on the trails!

THINK SNOW!
