Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – March 2, 2022

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Hanging tough

Date of Report: March 2, 2022

Area Report:

Well folks, it’s getting to that time. ….Late season riding. Currently, the trails are good, with some thin corners and exposed roadways will be bare. Dirty snow at trail roadway intersections. Some bumps won’t be able to be filled all the way due to lack of base. Trails get “soft” with sunny days and warmer temps.

Now the good news….We are in March and still riding!! Hodags will be continuing to groom on a regular basis as long as temperature and conditions warrant.

The lakes are all marked and not showing any signs of slush. There are multiple roads across Boom Lake so use extreme caution when traveling on that route. The snow cover on the lake is low, so the ice fisherman can travel about anywhere so there can be truck tracks and / or plowed roads in multiple locations.

There is one trail closure on the Hodag Sno-Trails system: Trail H4 from Boom Lake to the intersection just north of River Rd. This is basically the “land” route to not running Boom Lake. The trail is closed at this point. We have been just notified that this is a permanent closure. Running the lake is the reroute.

Conditions will change quickly at this point. We will try to update as they change.

Oneida County trails could stay open until March 31st….conditions permitting. Time to ride!!

And when you meet a groomer, we will stop and shut down bright lights signaling the riders that it is safe to pass. If you are traveling on a freshly groomed trail, be alert for a groomer ahead.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – March 2, 2022

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Varied ice base – Need SNOW

Date of Report: March 2, 2022

Area Report:

March 2, 2022 – 6:42am 12 degrees – High today 25 – Low tonight 2 below – Snowing off & on

Trails are on average FAIR. With that said there are all conditions out on the trails & the conditions change quickly. Whether riding north, south, east or west sections are GOOD particularly in the undercover areas & south side of road trails. POOR in the wide open area due to the evil sun. FAIR in the rest. Early morning & late evening there are icy conditions in corners. Corners also have blow outs. I call it ADVENTURE SLEDDING.

Groomer Tracking Systems (GTS) shows groomers back out grooming last night.

One Heading SOUTH through town past the Ice Castle grooming Trail Alt 13 south to the Three Lakes Trail connect.

Another groomer headed NORTH on Trails 10/13, these 2 trails run on the same section together all the way to the Conover Trail connect. Then headed west on 10/13 across the section that crosses the Wisconsin River bridge heading west. After crossing the bridge & at the Trail 10/13 intersection grooming Trail 10W & the Uncle Kent club trail.

On the way back from grooming the NORTH section trails groomers turned onto Trail 3 aka Manske that head east & connects to Trail 17N & Trail 1. Trail 1 takes you to the Eagle Lake Boat launch on the northside of Eagle Lake. Turned around & head back on Trail 1 to the 17N connect & back to the to the Groomer Barn.

To help you out the the location of these trail pick up a paper trail map or use the GTS tracker or the MapIt Vilas County app. A link to the download either is below.

The Clubs of Vilas County work very hard to secure easements from private landowners & folks we are losing many due to off trail riding. So PLEASE NO OFF TRAIL RIDING.

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. Stay by the orange reflective barrels. Surface slush with the sun is possible. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe.

Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! And THINK COLD would be good too!

See ya on the Trails!

Trail Report – : Antigo/Langlade County, Wisconsin – March 1, 2022

Reporter:langlade

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 3-8

Date of Report: March 1, 2022

Area Report:

The Langlade County snowmobile trails overall are in fair to good condition in both Zone A and B. Due to the lack of snow and relatively heavy trail use, there are thin spots throughout the trail system, mainly on the high traffic trails. Icy spots and corners are also present throughout and snowmobiles should use caution and slow down, especially on corners and bridges.

Due to planned construction activities; intersections 30 to 30A will be closed immediately.

The trail segment from intersection 93 south to Northwoods Inn is closed indefinitely.

March 1, 2022

Groomers are back out after another great weekend!! The entire Seeley Hills to Bayfield County line down to Nelson Lake has been completed and will continue to be touched up as the week progresses.

The Musky Sno Club had a part go out on their piston bully that was a struggle to find but with the help from many one was found in Tennessee and shipped quickly and the guys jumped quick to get that installed and back on the trails! So if you rode from Round Lake to the Lost Land Lake area you had quite the bumpy ride and we apologize. Things are all groomed back up and ready to ride! Sno Trails big Case tractor is down, but the Ranger groomer is working double duty to keep the trails in top shape! Thanks again to all the volunteers who work all hours of the day and night to maintain our trail system!

This week and weekend will get warmer but our trails remain excellent for the weekend. We even have some snow in the forecast Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

For the first time in several years we are grooming a deep base of snow on our trail system in March. All of our trails have been groomed since the weekend. We are watching temps and taking measures to ensure we don’t compromise what we have left

Trails are in good to very good condition.

Snowmobile season is in full swing, which means both riders and groomers are out on the trails. Here are a few things to keep in mind when enjoying the trails while grooming is taking place.

Be courteous to the driver – these volunteers do their best to keep snowmobile trails in riding condition.

Groomers use the entire width of the trail and have the right of way.
