Stephenson County, Illinois

Reporter:Skinner
Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: 12+
Date of Report: December 10, 2025
Area Report:

Today we open trails in the last few days we have had a considerable amount of snow but last night it was above freezing all night and light rain, so we lost quite a bit of snow. GOOD news is that here in Cedarville we have been out rolling trails for 3 days and have built a good base and with the cold setting back in and if everyone stays off today until they set up, we should be good to go. RIDE RIGHT AND STAY SAFE 




Snowmobiling Information

Nestled in Northwest Illinois is Stephenson County with its scenic, well-marked and groomed trails.
The Cedarville Snow Travelers’ trails begin at the Wes Block Trailhead on the Jane Addams trail which is located on Route 20 West bypass around Freeport. This trail follows the IL Central Railroad bed where you will pass through dolomite rock cuts and cross 21 bridges on your 13 mile trek to Wisconsin where it connects with the Badger Trail. Along the way, you can stop for a warm welcome at the village of Orangeville for refreshments and fuel.

Trails branch off from the Jane Addams trail in different directions. If you head south at the Wes Block Trailhead, you will cross the Pecatonica River on an old iron railroad bridge on your way to Pearl City. As you approach Bolton Road, you will encounter the area’s well know cable bridge that crosses the Yellow Creek. That’s an adventure in itself! Other trails lead to areas where you can stop and experience small town hospitality.
