Fresh snow was just what we needed. With over 12″ last Sunday into Monday. Trails are currently in good condition. Cold temps ahead and grooming is being done. Expect busy traffic going into the weekend. We will be doing our best to keep the trails in shape. Come on up and explore the beauty of the Phelps trail system.
News and Reports:
When traveling on lake trails this season, be aware of the new access lights throughout Vilas County. 2, on both sides of the trail, flashing a red/white/green light during hours of darkness. This is your guide that the shoreline is there, and the exit of the lake trail is there. Also, a reminder that the State of Wisconsin has a 55 MPH speed limit at night on all trails, and lakes. Please adhere to this. At that speed you are driving beyond your headlights. We want you all to be safe and come back to visit us again.

Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 15 – 20 inches
Date of Report: December 30, 2025
Area Report:
Our trail system is open and groomer operators are out on the trails today. We had a major storm come in Monday night through Tuesday. It left us with between 15 – 20 inches of new snow depending which side of the county you are on. It’s been a long tough winter so far for our club members and volunteers who have been working for weeks to clean up the downed trees and clear the brush off the trails after the Thanksgiving storm that blew in first. So if you get a chance to see a groomer going down the trail, please give them a BIG “Thumbs up”. It will put a big smile on their face and on yours too!!
Below are the trails that I know of so far that are currently getting groomed today and tomorrow.
Trail #2 – Good, Trail #116 – Good, Trail #16 – Fair to Good, Trail #15 N. watch for a wet area, Trail #15 S – Good, Trail #107 – Good, Trail #111 – Fair to Good. We currently do not have any updates I can share from the Chippewa Sno-Kats on their grooming and trail conditions at this time. When I do, I will add to this report.
Again, such a “Wonderful” sight to see all this new snow and right before the New Year!! We hope to see you all this winter. But until then, don’t forget, “Always” ride right, watch the corners for other sledders and possible ice.
Safe sledding and have “SNOW MUCH” fun riding this winter.
