Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – January 26, 2026

Reporter:Washburn County
Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 6 - 8" Base
Date of Report: January 26, 2026
Area Report:

At this time ALL Trails in Washburn County are now officially open. With the recent snow accumulations trails are now packed and groomed and have a sustainable trail base. Additional snow accumulations have helped the trails out tremendously and grooming reports have been coming in with positive feedback. All trails across the County are in good condition. Remember that grooming and maintenance activities continue throughout the season. Use caution while riding, watch for trail equipment, and enjoy the trails responsibly. If you encounter any trail issues such as downed trees, limbs, or debris, please report them to Washburn County Forestry at 715-635-4490.

Please be advised that ice conditions continue to vary and traveling on any lake is never 100% safe. Washburn County Forestry does not maintain anything past the high ground point. Please use caution if you are out on any lake.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 26, 2026

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12

Date of Report: January 26, 2026

Area Report:

Trail conditions are excellent. Many grooming operations paused over the weekend with the double-digit below zero temps for the safety of our volunteers and because those temperatures are hard on the equipment. The trails held up very well with the cold, but groomers will be back out this week getting things freshened up. There is some snow in the forecast and more comfortable temperatures ahead for the upcoming weekend. If you haven’t planned your trip to Sawyer County yet, what are you waiting for?! See you on the trails!

Trail Report – : Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin – January 26, 2026

Reporter:Phil

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: Looks like Winter…NICE

Date of Report: January 26, 2026

Area Report:

With -38 degree temps Friday and Saturday nights we did not groom as it was dangerous for the well being of the drivers and the equipment. Light traffic meant the trails were still flat and white. Normal temps returning today (only -23 this morning) so nightly grooming has resumed.

News and Reports:

Trails are in great shape. The cold snap has firmed up the lakes. Stay by the barrels and please stay on the marked trails. Land Owner complaints have been minimal so far this season on the Frosty Club trail system so Thank You riders.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Very Good to Excellent
Frozen Icy Base – With plenty SNOW
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

Eagle River & Vilas county remain in the freezer. Single digits during the day & below zero at night until Saturday. Then temps will be in the 20’s during the day!!! Great riding weather!

As to SNOW nothing much in the forecast until the end of the 1st week in February. So as I have been saying the trails have plenty of SNOW but it is hard, crusty & fast/slippery.

If you ride during the cold snap be sure to tell someone where you are riding; don’t ride alone; fully charged phone; dress in layers; tell someone where you are headed; stop more often to warm up & drink warm drinks, refrain from drinking alcohol. Heated gloves, socks & vests or jackets under your snowmobile jacket would good too. Last BE SURE YOUR SLED GAS TANK IS FULL to prevent frosting in the tank.

Last night Sno-Eagles grooming everything except the spur off of 10/7 that comes out on Hwy G & it looks like a section of 10/13 in the Adams Rd area & the local section of Alt 13 that used to go to Three Lakes.

Trail Updates

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

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. Safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail have been installed.

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.

Have been a few changes to the 2025-2026 Sno-Eagles map. Right click on photo to enlarge

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 25, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 8-12”

Date of Report: January 25, 2026

Area Report:

So, with the extreme cold, we have shortened the time we are out grooming. Basically we have groomed the entire Conover trails over 2 days. Tonight we hit everything that wasn’t groomed last night.

Trails are holding up nicely, we are trying to do as little cutting as possible so we don’t pull up ice chunks. There were a few corners pushed out down to the frozen ground. So as you ride, slow down in corners as they will be icy.

Funny how we usually refer to the “evil sun” being out during the winter, but not today. Forecast is for light snow Monday and a gradual warm up into this coming weekend.

Remember to dress for the cold temperatures by wearing layers, find someone to ride with, have a charged cell phone, and having a back-up heated shield cord along with you.

Watch out for the large ice heave on North Twin Lake. It is marked with signs, barrels, and green flashing beacons. Please slow down and cross next to the barrels.
