Off trail riding has become a problem throughout Vilas county. What this is doing is jeopardizing trail easements & will cause trail section closures. Please once again stay on marked trails. Done preaching on to today’s report.
The 2 maybe 3 inches of SNOW overnight does help. Could use more but will take what we got. SNOW is wet so will help build a base along with the cold night time temps & grooming to compact. Should freeze up tight. Icy corners. Best riding with most SNOW is Northwest & east of town. It’s still Adventure Sledding. All kinds of conditions out there.
REMINDER: Trail 3N aka Manske Swamp has been closed. Due to high water & off rail riding. This trail is a cut across between 13N & 17N. It may reopen when it freezes back up.
Last Tuesday evening an off trail rider riding on Catfish lake lost his life. He was no where near the barrels that are placed on Catfish & Eagle by businesses on those lakes. To include the spur to Eagle Waters. This was completely avoidable. Please stay by the markers to be safe. Entire lakes are NOT safe.
ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER WHILE VILAS COUNTY TRAILS ARE OPEN, ONEIDA & FOREST ARE NOT. PLEASE DO NOT RIDE IN THOSE AREAS. This includes Three Lakes, Sugar Camp & Newbold which are all in Oneida county.
KEEP THINKING COLD & DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
