Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – February 4, 2021

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 2-10 inches snow & base total

Date of Report: February 4, 2021

Area Report:

February 4 – 7:30am Currently 27 – High of 28 today – Low tonight 3

Trails on average Fair Condition
GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours
Nightly grooming continues. Going to list them this morning.

The “grade” Trail 10/13 through town
10/13N to include section that cross over the Wisconsin River snowmobile bridge
10W/7 that heads west from Wisconsin River snowmobile bridge & connects to Sayner trails & west Conover trails
17N to 1N that takes you the Eagle Lake boat launch
Alt13/3S to Three Lakes turn around

Suggest buying a Sno-Eagles trail map to help with location of trails. Plus download the GTS trails app It is available at the App Store.

Trails really could use more SNOW. As of 7:08 this morning it has started to SNOW with a thin covering at this point. With the temps at 27 it will take some time for it to stick. Forecast is still for 5-8 inches. Thinking the 4-5 of actual SNOW on the ground is a better bet. SNOW followed by very cold temps. Starting tomorrow through next week highs will be single digits or even below zero highs for the day. Below zero every night for the next week. Winters back. Just in case KEEP DANCIN’

Right now conditions run on average Fair with some Good & Poor especially at road crossings. The one-way parts of 10E are pretty snirty even dirt. Groomer were out prepping for the SNOW. Getting the base flattened. Same conditions on 17N. 70W of town will really improve with new SNOW it is snirty & gritty, especially up on the hill across from the Wisconsin River. Alt13S to Three Lakes, 10W/7 are in pretty good shape, some burn through in the real open areas. All in all new SNOW followed by frigid temps will bring the trails back into shape.

Been writing this all season but off trail riding continues to be a problem throughout Vilas county. What this is doing is jeopardizing trail easements & will cause trail section closures. Please once again stay on marked trails.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

Iron, Oneida & the northern part of Forest that surround Vilas along with all Michigan trail are OPEN.

KEEP THINKING COLD & DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!

Area Report:

Snow base (in inches): 4-12 inches

Status (Closed, Open, Partially Open): Open

Condition (Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent): Good to Fair

Not a lot of changes to report. Trails remain in good to fair condition with some poor areas where there hasn’t been enough snow. There’s a decent snow storm in the forecast for Thursday into Friday which should improve trail conditions. Stay warm out there!

The same trouble spots still remain:

The Grand View and Mason areas didn’t receive much snow and sled traffic could damage farm fields. Please use caution.
Trail 1 along the South shore is rough but passable.
The trail into the City of Bayfield will not open this year, but we’re hopeful for next year.
Trail 1 to the casino is open with a re-route. It’s a bit rough in spots so use caution. The re-route utilizes the right of way so please respect private landowners and follow the signs and groomed path.

Namakagon Trail Groomers: Trails remain in fair condition as of 2/3. They have all been groomed on 2/2 & 2/3 and plan on going back out after the snow fall!

Barnes Barnestormers: Not much has changed since last week. The trails held up well despite the heavy traffic and no new snow. Trail 7-17 around town poor to good, bare corners and hills. Trail 17-18 in good condition. Trail 31 is good south of trail 18 intersection. Trail 31 south is plowed for logging south of 43 road. Let’s hope for some new snow.

Drummond SnoJacks: The Drummond area received 2” of new snow last Sunday but only a thin base remains. New snow forecast Wednesday night into Thursday and colder temperatures will improve conditions. All trails will be groomed again before the weekend. Overall conditions are good to fair depending on use.
