SNO-EAGLES
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
ARE CLOSED

Gun Deer Season ends today at dusk.  Clubs in Vilas to include Sno-Eagles will be out inspecting the trails after sleet, SNOW & wind for downed trees & limbs.  The northern part of the County received well over a 1 foot so many of those clubs will begin panning or rolling to begin building the hard icy base.  That hard frozen base will help keep the trails in good shape should a warm up happen this Winter riding season.  

The trails still need more SNOW in the Eagle River area to open.  More Lake Snow over the last 2 nights amounted to about 4 inches total, 6 miles east of Eagle River.  That brings the total out east 10+-.  Been some LE Snow.  Next measurable SNOW looks to come in a week from this Monday.  Stay tuned.

Temps are going to be in the low 20’s & single digits for the couple weeks.  Some daytime highs in the teens & couple of below zero at night.  SNOW not going anywhere. 

Think Cold!  Start Doin’ A Snow Dance!

Trail Report – : Lake Gogebic | Bergland, Michigan – November 30, 2025

Reporter:AJ’s Walleye Lodge

Trail Conditions: Not Ridable

Snow Cover: 8+ inches

Date of Report: November 30, 2025

Area Report:

OH BOY… What. A. Weekend. ❄️

We’ve been digging out up here in the Lake Gogebic Area— over 30 inches of fresh snow already — and Mother Nature isn’t done with us yet! More snow and cold temps in the forecast this week. Winter showed up fast and fierce!

We’ve been getting tons of calls from excited riders wondering when they can hit the trails. As a reminder, trails are officially open on Monday, December 1st — but here’s the reality:

👉 Per Gogebic Area Grooming:

“While trails are officially open as of December 1st, the storm left behind significant damage, downed trees, debris, and large water holes that haven’t frozen yet. At this time, the trails are NOT safe to ride. Crews are out working hard to clear and secure things. It is HIGHLY recommended that riders stay off the trails right now to allow cleanup and prevent further damage. We’ll continue to provide updates as conditions improve. Thank you for your patience — safe trails start with all of us!”

We know the excitement is real — trust us, we feel it too! 🛷🔥

Let’s give our amazing groomers the time they need to get things ride-ready.

📣 We’ll keep everyone updated right here as soon as conditions change!

In the meantime… make sure you get your groups together and make your reservations early!   

We’ll look forward to seeing you soon.

Reporter:Snogoer1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 30+

Date of Report: November 28, 2025

Area Report:

We received one of the largest snow storms in years, especially this early on. With that our trails have received substantial damage with downed trees and brush. After hunting season on Sunday, crews will start to go out and begin clearing the trails for our groomers with rollers to be able to get through and start building a base. The Iron County Rec Council will be meeting on Monday and will most likely determine a trail opening date.

Stay tuned!

Finally some SNOW!   Eagle River got 5+- inches of SNOW over the last couple days.  Combination of real snow & Lake Effect.  

Sno-Eagles has been finishing up brushing, limbing & marking trails.   Work also continues on a few re-routes. Lots of high winds yesterday meaning all trails will have to be checked for downed trees & limbs.

Going to be a while before trails are ready to open.  First the Deer Gun season runs ’til Sunday.  We also need lots more SNOW to even consider opening.

Temps are going to be in the low 20’s to high teens through December 11 so moving in the right direction for a good freeze down of the trails!  SNOW in the forecast off & on during that time. Lake have a long way to go.

Think Cold!  Later on a Snow Dance!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – November 26, 2025

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 8-10″

Date of Report: November 26, 2025

Snowmobile Information:

OK snow fans, the first big balloon has gone up. I have about 8″ on the ground here in Lac du Flambeau, and the winds are shaking the house at times, even though they are northwest and we are more or less protected here. Could be gusts up to 40-55mph later. North of here they are getting hammered. Power is out all over, trees are down, roads are icy, snow is deep. The weather outside is frightful, but the squirrels and I think it is delightful. Isn’t it cool? Then you ask, is that Toulish guy “funny”? Nothing trail wise to report other than the steely eyed professionals at Horseshoe command are ready to pounce as soon as conditions and calendar warrant. We also sold out on tickets for the December calendar raffle. We start drawing December 1st. Thank you and good luck to all that participated. Sounds like all the models indicate a cold and snowy December, so hopefully we jump out of the blocks and run this winter. Be safe over the next few days, and Happy Thanksgiving! Mark
