Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – December 28, 2022

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 6-9 inches of snow

Date of Report: December 28, 2022

Area Report:

With approval from the forestry department, we are able look at a tenative ETA to partially open some areas HOPEFULLY Friday. We understand it’s hard to not hear a “yes for sure this date” but the safety of all is a huge consideration. Crews and contractors have been out clearing and packing. The biggest issues have been that much of the trees and branches are very large and were bent over into the trails creating walls and these trees must be cut up high for safety as well as for groomers and excavator’s to be able to fit through and continue forward so the most challenging is the need of large equipment to complete the task and the deep snow making the process slow.

Then of course the lakes, there is a lot of slush and many crews have been riding where they find it safe enough to pack that slush down, so it freezes and creates more ice. Again, crews that have a lot of knowledge and experience packing lakes and swamps safely during the day in hopes of creating/freezing more ice at night so please do not ride the lakes until they have been declared safe, staked and open.

We will update with a definite date as to when and where the partial opening will be as the week progresses.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – December 27, 2022

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 6-9 inches of snow

Date of Report: December 27, 2022

Area Report:

By mid week we should be partially open.

Hayward Sno-Mads Snowmobile Club and Musky & Sno Club clubs, trail and grooming captains will continue to do the major clean up with contractors over the next few days and they will follow through with groomers. A target date for the trails such as 15, 77, 31, 8, 3, 21, 5, 63, along with other connectors which would be in the town of Hayward to the Seeley Hills to the north and west towards Nelson Lake, east towards Round Lake to Spider Lake areas to Lost Land area to Moose Lake area to the Bayfield Co line should be cleared, opened and groomed by late Wed to Thursday. So riding the wooded trails from north of Round Lake to Bayfield (which is open) will we hope, be rideable this weekend.

Reports from Winter Huskies Snowmobile Club are that Tuscobia has the big debris cleared and cut. They are asking if any riders would like to ride and clean up branches and down debris, specifically from Winter to the Price Co line. A saw may be nice to have with. The trails that spur off of the Tuscobia have had lots of large trees bent down onto the trails creating lots of walls so they continue to work on those to make passable not just for riders but for groomers. There is not a target date on those to be ready at this time.

Lakes; Lost Land Lake and Barker Lake are staked, there could be down stakes from the snow. Crews are packing the Flowage Tuesday and Wed in hopes of packing that snow and allowing it to freeze to create more ice but at this time there was not enough safe ice to stake, they continue to check daily so we will update when we here. Other area lakes have similar reports, not yet enough ice yet and a lot of slush and water so even if there was enough ice it is very difficult to get through. Again, crews that have a lot of knowledge and experience are packing lakes and swamps safely during the day in hopes of creating/freezing more ice at night so please do not ride the lakes until they have been declared safe, staked and open.

These are the only updates we have so far, many crews are out on many trails clearing and we will continue to share all and any info as it comes in. Until then please watch for updates and always ride with caution while they clean up as well as after as there most certainly will be branches that will continue to fall over the next few weeks.

Trail Report – : Hurley, Wisconsin – December 27, 2022

Reporter:hurley@hurleywi.com

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12

Date of Report: December 27, 2022

Area Report:

Trail progress is going great! We have successfully crossed the beaver pond on 8 West, connecting trails 15 and 77. We have also bridged and passed the 2 trouble areas on 15a and 15 North of 15a. After finishing our rolling efforts yesterday of the 15-30″ of new snow, we are back to drags today with 3 rigs working all day and night. Hopefully by the week’s end we will be able to work on the snow bridging efforts of the remaining sections of the 13’s. Heavy traffic and warmer temperatures over the next couple days will definitely influence our work. As of now, all open trails are in Good to Great condition. Please watch for deteriorating conditions as the temperatures warm up the next few days and with increased traffic. If you see any low-hanging branches, please help us by cutting/breaking them off.
PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAILS!! We work very hard to keep these great trails open and safe for your enjoyment. Don’t ruin this by off-trail riding or going beyond areas fenced as closed.
RIDE SAFE, AND RIDE RIGHT. SLOWLY PASS ALL GROOMERS WHEN THEY SIGNAL FROM A STOPPED POSITION.
