EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
VERY GOOD – EXCELLENT
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

All in all trails are in great shape everywhere. Traffic out east continues high. Riders coming from the East from Three Lakes, Phelps & even Forest county. Lots heading out to those areas from town. Same 10W/13N heading north to the Buckatabon/Bauer’s area & 10W/7 after crossing the Wisconsin River bridge. And yes slush pockets in the bridge area with a bit of water on top of the icy on the approaches. So SLOW DOWN there as it is slippery. Quieter on 3N, 17N, 70W/17S. Haven’t ridden those sections in a while hope to ride tomorrow, Friday.

Roller coaster of temps over the next few days. High of 34 with 1/2 inch SNOW. Low of 6 below. Then tomorrow way up to 47 & low of 15. Riding tomorrow afternoon to see what the 47 does to the trails. Then for the next 2 days highs in the teens & below zero at night. Next week is a mixed bag. Looks like we could be headed into some Adventure Sledding. Getting pretty warm if the forecast holds.

Groomers were out last night grooming. Just a few area not groomed. Here are the NOT Groomed trails:

13N from west of the WI River Bridge heading north to the Buckatabon/Bauer’s area

Short section of 3 – between 10W/13N & 17N

South trail beyond the turn onto 10E south of town. This a local trail for those living in that area to get onto the trail system

Club trail off 10/7 that comes out at Hwy G

Daily Reminders:

Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. The Club is working on a reroute.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail. There are mogul drifts along the barrels so recommend slowing down. Lots of SNOW mist so leave space between you & rider in front.

Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter. If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights

Have been a few changes to the 2025-2026 Sno-Eagles map.
