Trails are still holding up great here in the Western UP. It’s been staying below average temps and off and on snow pretty much all week. Next week is calling for a couple of weak fronts and Tuesday could hit ubove freezing temps. However that will be short lived because we’ll be back in to single digits starting Wednesday.
Keweenaw snowmobile club has been running day and night grooming operations covering the entire trail system daily. Superior Snowmobile Club has been going out nightly and covering most of their trail system daily.
All trails are open except Trail 3 from Lake Linden to Dollar, the Frieda Loop, and trail 109 south out of Twin Lakes.
Don’t forget the Masters Racing Circuit is holding the Winternationals Hillclimbs in South Range is coming up February 5th & 6th. Also I’ll be there with a groomer for those who would like to see what we use to give you that perfect ribbon.

No new SNOW yesterday or overnight. Snow this afternoon. Lake Effect clipper coming from the far northwest over Lake Superior from Canada. Looks to be a couple of inches.
Didn’t ride yesterday. Did volunteer at the Lac du Flambeau Northern Hornshoe Groomer Barn feeding the over 100 MS Fundraising Ride. Talked to lots of riders who said the trails in ALL of Vilas county were in GOOD condition. In Eagle River area the Women on Snow are riding with large groups. Ride Right. Ride Safe. Even in the corners. Riding this afternoon from home on 10E to Conover for dinner at the Log Cabin. Report tomorrow morning.
Here are the GROOMED TRAILS:
10/13 from the groomer barn heading through Eagle River past the Ice Castle & on down to Trail Alt 13/3 to Three Lakes Trails connect & turn around.
Back up Trail Alt 13/3 toward Eagle River. Just south of Eagle River turning right & connecting to Trail 10E.
Trail 10E along with the 9mile spur groomed to the Three Lake Trails connect & turn around. GRANPA GRAHM which is Trail 1S & Chanticleer Inn trail that leads to the south entrance of EagleLake trail NOT GROOMED
Trail 10/13 from the groomer barn heading north out of Eagle River groomed all the way north to the Conover Trails connect. Turning left/west on 10/13 crossing the Wisconsin River Bridge. All the way to the intersection of 10/13.
Trail 13 heads north & groomers groomed ALL the trails that head to Bauer’s Dam area & connect with Conover.
Trail 10 & Trail 7 from that intersection head west to connect with Sayner & St. Germain trails.
Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. There have been several sleds going into the water this winter. ALL were no where near a trail or the barrels.
Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions. Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com
Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! Trails Need More Fresh SNOW

The Three Lakes Brule River Trails system is in excellent condition. The cold weather has helped to preserve our trails. A few icy corners might be encountered. We are on a regular grooming schedule. All of our system is currently open and in very good condition. Lakes are now marked. Stay close to the barrels for safe ice. Please stay on the trail and between the markers. Please remember to drop a few dollars in our donation boxes at your favorite trail stop. Every little bit helps.
Douglas County Received 1 – 4 inches of fresh snow across the county last weekend. Most trails have been groomed and are in fair Riding conditions. We need more snow. There are still areas of dirt poking through on some of the trails. As Grooming reports come in the Trail Conditions will be updated. Douglas County Forestry does not maintain any trails across lakes. If you would like information of specific trails please contact the Snowmobile club in that area.
It is critical that we respect the landowners who allow us to utilize their property. Please Stay On Marked Trails.
Please share this info with anyone that you believe would be interested…our goal is to inform as many trail riders as possible.
Please check with neighboring counties to ensure the trails are open before you ride!

1/21/22: All county trails are open. Trails are generally in “good” condition based on the cover – base is still very thin, and there are still rocks that are only covered with powder, so be careful on the hills. We got 2 inches of fresh snow on Tuesday, and the forecast is calling for another 2 inches tonight, so things are shaping up nicely… Lakes have re-frozen relatively solid, with 6-10″ of ice, depending on the lake. Foot travel or snowmobile only is advised. Lots of Northerns, Crappies and Bluegills being taken. I’m posting some additional club info below: – Woody 1/18/22 – Fifield Sno Drovers: The trails in the Fifield/Pike Lake area are all open and groomed. The trail conditions vary from good to very good, but snow remains thin. Some segments still have rocks coming through. We got 2 inches of snow on Tuesday, and more on the way. Trails are the best we’ve had so far this season, so get out there and ride! 1/19/22 – Driftsplitters Kennan/Catawba Trails: The club is continuing to groom on a regular schedule, trails are in good shape. Trail 94 has been opened back up 1-18-22, groomed and in good shape. We have ongoing logging operations on trail 94 – about 1/2 mile of dozed trail south of 3 Mile Bar & Grille, trail 181 east of intersection 100 halfway to Prentice, and trail 80 south of intersection 100 going to Taylor Cty, two operations each dozed about 2 miles. All dozed trails have little to no snow. Use caution when meeting logging equipment. 1/11/22 – NorthWoods Hi-Riders: We are happy to report the trails around the Solberg Lake area are generally in good to very good condition. All trails are now on a regular grooming schedule. It is still early season, so there may be a few thin spots and be on the lookout for rocks and branches on the trail – please be courteous and stop to clear any debris off the trail to keep you and other riders safe.
