Winter Recreation Trails (Reported on 1/25/2022)

Douglas County Received 1 – 4 inches of fresh snow across the county over the weekend.  Most trails have been groomed and are in fair to good Riding conditions. There are still areas of dirt poking through on some of the trails.  As Grooming reports come in the Trail Conditions will be updated.

It is critical that we respect the landowners who allow us to utilize their property. Please Stay On Marked Trails.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS
ON AVERAGE FAIR to GOOD

January 25, 2022 – 7:45 am 9 below zero – High of 3 today

Somebody left the freezer door open!  It 9 below this morning & will only get to 3.  So if you’re riding dress warm. Fully charge phone in an inside pocket. Stop more often.

As for the trails really no change at all. Could use some fresh snow. As it’s crusty out there.  Corners are icy. Didn’t ride yesterday.  Probably won’t today as it’s a tad bit too cold.  Riding tomorrow for sure and will get you a detail riding report. Heading east on 10E working our way toward Phelps tomorrow then come into Eagle River using Trail 17N.  Will run Catfish & maybe Eagle to let know the conditions.

The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows spot grooming Eagle River last night.  Here are the trails THAT WERE GROOMED overnight    

  • Trail 10W/13N –  From the groomer barns in Eagle River across from Derby Track north all the way to the Wisconsin River Bridge section.
  • Wisconsin River Bridge section west to the 10W/13N intersection.
  • 10W – West toward Sayner.  To include grooming 7S.

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 not where near a trail.

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!  Never enough SNOW!

See ya on the trails!!
