Trail 9 is temporarily closed due to icing conditions on parts of the trail. Use Military Rd to bypass this segment.

Watch for ice heaves on the lakes. Use caution, slow down with all the snow dust, and stay close to the barrels.

The trail 7 from Spirit Lake to Maple Lake will be closed this season.

When visiting downtown businesses please park your sled at the Shed the Sled, corner of Highway 45 and County Highway A. Please do not park in businesses’ parking lots or town roads.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – February 26, 2026

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Decent

Date of Report: February 26, 2026

Area Report:

A big thank you to Stephanie & Gil, owners of The Web, for hosting our brat fry fundraiser last weekend. It was a big success and we appreciate their generosity.

Trails are holding up very well. The snow we’ve received this past week was mostly dry & fluffy, but we’ll take all we can get. We are able to keep the majority of our system pretty flat and in great condition. Of course, the higher traffic areas will get bumpy much sooner, but overall we’re in good shape. The snow layer on top of our base is getting thin, and you will start to see corners getting icy again. Some good wet snow would help fix this. In the meantime, we’re doing what we can to pull snow back onto the trails.

Temps these next few days vary widely with some lows below zero and a high on Friday of 47. We’ll still be good through the weekend. It appears that by mid next week, temps are heading back up, so we’ll have to wait and see. There isn’t much new snow in the forecast.

We hear occasional complaints about the portage (between Star and Plum lakes) being rough. We do groom this frequently, but not as often as the rest of our system. The portage is NOT a funded trail, so we do NOT get any funding to groom this. Every time we go down there, it’s money out of our general fund without any reimbursement.

As I’ve mentioned previously, you will find your best riding in the mornings and early afternoons. Areas with high traffic can get beat up rather quickly, but overall, there is still some amazing riding available!

Remember, if you aren’t able to keep your sled on your side of the trail as you enter corners, you’re going too fast and putting the safety of others at risk! You can drive too slow many times, but you may only drive too fast once! SAFETY TRUMPS EGO!

Ride RIght & Ride Safe!

Mark your calendars for these upcoming Barnstormer events:

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
VERY GOOD – EXCELLENT
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

All in all trails are in great shape everywhere. Traffic out east continues high. Riders coming from the East from Three Lakes, Phelps & even Forest county. Lots heading out to those areas from town. Same 10W/13N heading north to the Buckatabon/Bauer’s area & 10W/7 after crossing the Wisconsin River bridge. And yes slush pockets in the bridge area with a bit of water on top of the icy on the approaches. So SLOW DOWN there as it is slippery. Quieter on 3N, 17N, 70W/17S. Haven’t ridden those sections in a while hope to ride tomorrow, Friday.

Roller coaster of temps over the next few days. High of 34 with 1/2 inch SNOW. Low of 6 below. Then tomorrow way up to 47 & low of 15. Riding tomorrow afternoon to see what the 47 does to the trails. Then for the next 2 days highs in the teens & below zero at night. Next week is a mixed bag. Looks like we could be headed into some Adventure Sledding. Getting pretty warm if the forecast holds.

Groomers were out last night grooming. Just a few area not groomed. Here are the NOT Groomed trails:

13N from west of the WI River Bridge heading north to the Buckatabon/Bauer’s area

Short section of 3 – between 10W/13N & 17N

South trail beyond the turn onto 10E south of town. This a local trail for those living in that area to get onto the trail system

Club trail off 10/7 that comes out at Hwy G

Daily Reminders:

Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. The Club is working on a reroute.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail. There are mogul drifts along the barrels so recommend slowing down. Lots of SNOW mist so leave space between you & rider in front.

Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter. If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights

Have been a few changes to the 2025-2026 Sno-Eagles map.

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 24, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12” with Solid Ice Base

Date of Report: February 24, 2026

Area Report:

Took a ride around Conover today and trails were in excellent shape. While we were out, we got hit with a quick 2-3” snow fall over about 3 hours.

As we close out February and move into March, we are in for a roller coaster of temperatures. By Friday, they are calling for a warm day, then right back to the arctic freeze. There are also predictions of more snow. The base on the trails in the woods are doing very well. Areas where the evil sun can hit have thinned it out. As long as we keep getting snow to build the base back up, we will be fine.

There is a few things going on this weekend in Conover. We have the Poker Run draw party this Saturday at Twin Lake Pub. Prizes for best hands, raffle baskets, 50/50s’ , and more. Also, the Kids Snowmobile races (WKSRA) will be at the Town Park Saturday and Sunday. Racing starts at 10am. It is a sight to see these kids race.

ZONE B (Southern Zone) OF THE LANGLADE COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL SYSTEM, INCLUDING STATE FUNDED TRAILS, ARE SCHEDULED TO OPEN ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUAY 25, AT 6:00 A.M. Zone A is open.

TWO SECTIONS OF THE TRAIL SYSTEM IN ZONE B WILL REMAIN CLOSED, INCLUDING THE TRAIL FROM INTERSECTION 30 WEST TO THE LINCOLN COUNTY LINE AND THE TRAIL BETWEEN INTERSECTIONS 39 AND 41A. THE CLOSED SEGMENTS ARE SHOWN ON A MAP BY CLICKING HERE.

ATVs are not allowed on the trails when the temperature is above 28° F. UTVs are not allowed on the Langlade County Snowmobile trail at any time due to the weight and width of the machines.

The Langlade County Snowmobile clubs, sponsors, and operators of the existing trails have put in many volunteer hours brushing, signing, and grooming to provide snowmobile trails for your use. Please support the snow clubs, thank them for their efforts, and patronize their business sponsors.

All lake trails in Langlade County are considered unsafe and should not be utilized until they have been clearly marked by a local snowmobile club. As always, the Langlade County Forestry, Parks & Recreation Department recommends riders stay on clearly marked trails, ride safe and ride “right”.

The snowmobile clubs spend a considerable amount of time working with landowners to be able to provide the exceptional trail system we have. Please respect private property and the efforts of the clubs to access private property; use of trails across private lands is a privilege. Always exercise caution when riding a snowmobile. Due to the recent warm weather, a significant amount of ice is present throughout the trail system. Exercise caution while riding.

For questions regarding specific trail conditions, please contact the local snowmobile club or visit their social media accounts or go to https://bit.ly/LCSnowmobileTrailReport. You may also contact the Forestry, Parks, and Recreation at 715-627-6300.

We hope that you enjoy the Langlade County trail system this winter, and thank you for supporting the economy and businesses of Langlade County!
