EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Closed
Still SNOW on the ground 6 miles east of Eagle River. The Thursday into Friday snowfall brought 3-4 inches of wet SNOW 6 miles East of Eagle River. Added to what was on the ground. With all that said need you to START DOIN A SNOW DANCE! Need way more SNOW to be able to open the trails.
Temps will be COLD for the next couple days with single digits at night. SNOW Sunday night into Monday morning. Then temps will move up.
The Vilas County Parks & Rec Supervisor has been out last week & this week inspecting all 11 clubs trails. All inspections are complete & the trails are good to go. Waiting for more SNOW to open.
Sno-Eagles are using the roller & Argo to help drive the frost down & have been panning to build a hard icy frozen base. As I have been reporting there is a re-route of the Trail 3 aka Manske Swamp that is still being worked on. When all done I will post a map with the trail updates. Trail 17 aka Hiawatha Trail has be rehab-ed. No more going in that wet mushy section just before Kick Back & Hiawatha motel. Alt Trail 13 that heads south to Three Lakes remains CLOSED. Trail 17S that connects with the Sugar Camp trails remains the same but there is a short re route where Eagle River Sno-Eagles connect. Another landowner closure. Map of that to follow too.
If you haven’t already, it’s time to renew your membership and purchase your discounted Trail Pass from the AWSC. Sno-Eagles AWSC Click on these links to do both

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.
