EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Remain CLOSED

No new news. The Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance have NOT voted to NOT open the trails should SNOW arrive.  With that said it is looking like no opening this year. Haven’t seen a sledding season like this in a long time.  Last I remember was in the mid-80’s. Actually much of the 80’s were up & down. With low SNOW in the early 90’s.  Then we got clobbered with SNOW in ’95. Spoke to a man who remembers in 1973 there was little or no SNOW.  He remembered as it was the year he moved up to Eagle River. 

In the meantime come on up and patronize the local businesses!

Eagle River has long held the distinction of SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, and it’s a matter of pride that causes local clubs and businesses to work so diligently to maintain that title. Snowmobile fever becomes a way of life in our Eagle River winters, and the talk often turns to “picks”, “carbides” and performance. In fact, these snow machines seem to outnumber cars during the winter months.

Over 500 MILES OF GROOMED TRAILS connect the communities of the area, including access to major county and state routes. Trails wind throughout the area’s scenic forests, but frequently pass close to service businesses which can provide you with fuel and sustenance, shelter and refreshment. If you don’t have your own snowmobile, several dealerships will be happy to provide you with equipment during your visit.
