Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – February 11, 2020

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 15-25”

Date of Report: February 11, 2020

Area Report:

Great news, all of our land trails are open. Trails are in excellent condition. Some icy corners and a little snirt may be encountered, but overall excellent conditions. We have a very good base. Trails are very hard and not much loose snow for lubrication or cooling. It might be a good idea to install a set of ice scratchers to kick up some snow to cool your sled down. Road routes are snow covered, some corners have a little ice. We are grooming on a nightly basis.

Remember it is law to yield to the groomer.

Very busy weekend coming up. Don’t forget about our second poker run this weekend, and weenie roast on Sunday. Checkout our Facebook page for all the details on those fun events.

Spirit, maple, townline, moccasin, round, crystal, island, and planting ground lakes are completely marked. Medicine and big stone lakes are partially marked. Stay within 10’ of the barrels to insure safe ice. If you don’t see barrels assume unsafe ice.

If you come across a tree that has fallen or something that you may see unsafe, please message us on Facebook. Please try and get the trail or the tin(trail identification number) that are located at all intersections.

Please be safe out there, it has been a horrific fall getting the trail system open this year with all the storms. We have thousands of hours getting trails ready for your safety and enjoyment.

If you like our trails, be sure to put a few dollars in our donation boxes in your favorite establishment, if you see something you don’t like, message us on Facebook and let us know, we will do what we can to fix it.

Area Report:

Trails have all been groomed last night and will be again tonight. There is quite a bit of traffic for midweek…but manageable. This weekend is President’s Day weekend so traffic will be heavy. We could have used a little of that fresh snow yesterday (only 1/2 inch) to refresh everything–maybe Wed. Trails are hard and fast–plenty of snow on them. Very Good to Excellent riding. A shout out to Phelps as they have successfully repaired there late freezing swamp on the east side of town. I rode it last night and it was excellent.

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 10, 2020

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 20-30 inches

Date of Report: February 10, 2020

Area Report:

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Trail report for February 10, 2020 – Trails are good. This morning the temp was 14 below zero. Very cold! With the very heavy traffic over the weekend and the lack of snow it was very hard to groom out a nice flat trail. The snow from the storm Sunday all went south of us and we just got a dusting. It is expected to stay in the low 20’s for most of the day with highs in the high 20’s for the next couple of days so the snow on the trail should not melt. We will do what we can to groom out a good trail, but we really need more snow. We are expecting some more snow on Wednesday but will have to see how much we will get. Some corners are getting bare and icy so use caution. Stay on marked trails! Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Snowmobile Trails

Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club (Townsend) – 2/9/20

The trails are FRESHLY GROOMED, hard, flat and icy in spots, especially in the corners! We will be out grooming all of our trails tonight. They are still in in very good to excellent riding condition, except between intersections 510 & 512, which I would rate as fair riding condition. It had starting to form a base since last snow, but much of it has since melted , with some bare spots now showing. It is still an area to be cautious in, but a decent ride right now. Reach out into the wooded trails to seek out the best the area has to offer

Paul Bunyan Riders Snowmobile Club (Lakewood) – 2/9/20

All Paul Bunyan trails were groomed Saturday night after a very busy day. Most had to be double groomed. We have about 3 inches of snow already by noon. The groomers will be out again tonight as well as all week. There will be some awesome trails for week day riding.

Chute Pond Snowmobile Club (Mountain) – 2/9/2020

Chute Pond Snowmobile Club trails are open, groomed on a regular basis, and in good to very good condition. Our team of groomers is working on the 6-8″ of fresh snow that fell today.

NEW DETOUR: There is a new detour route from INT#447 that runs north and west and intersects with the 18 Corridor trail at Riverview Rd (see map- detour is shown in red). Thank you to the Towns of Mountain and Riverview for allowing the use of the unplowed town roads to complete this detour. The detour route is groomed and marked.

Exceptions (see map): Trails that will remain closed indefinitely are from INT#451-INT#453 (from east of Hwy 32 behind the Junction to Jack Pine Rd), and from INT#447 north to the 18 Corridor trail near Cooked Lake (the northern pipeline trail). DO NOT ride the closed trails- they have not been cleared from the July wind storms because the swamps are still wet and have not allowed equipment to get in to work on those areas yet. The closed areas are tangles of fallen trees in a swampy area- you don’t want to go there.

Cautions for the entire season: Be aware that any off-trail riding- even to take one ski off to “grab a little loose snow”- could be dangerous. The July wind storms have devastated many areas of our forested trails, and there are many trees and limbs on the ground just off the edges of the groomed trails. Please stay safe- stay on the groomed trails. Riders are urged to reduce speed and ride with extra caution, as the forest and the trails look very different since the storm. There are numerous logging operations that will be ongoing throughout the season. Please use extra caution in these areas. No Chute Pond trails cross any lakes or rivers- use extreme caution on all frozen surfaces. You are encouraged to carry a portable hand saw if possible, since limbs and branches continue to fall onto and over the trails. Please- ride sober, stay to the right, and stay on the marked trails.

Bagley & Brazeau Joyriders – 2/5/20

The trails held up through the warm weather on the weekend. So we are grooming Wednesday & Thursday and Friday, if needed. The trails are good to excellent condition. The trails in the marshes and low areas that are not groomed, we tried to groom in the marsh this week but we broke through again. They are getting a little rough so take it slow through them and enjoy the good trails. Chute Pond opened and marked a trail to get to Crooked Lake or Chute Pond this week. When you get to the intersection 447 leaving BB Joyriders trails, keep going west and this trail will link you to the trail that goes north to Crooked Lake or South to Chute Pond.

Gillett Sno ATV Riders – 2/9/20

The groomer will be out tonight 2/9 and tomorrow 2/10 during the day getting trails back in order after the recent snowfall. The Nicolet State Trail is in great condition and is currently being groomed. The spur off trails will be hit tonight and tomorrow. The entire Gillett trail system will open on Tuesday 2/11 at 8am

Oconto Falls Sno-Jokers – 2/9/20

Oconto Falls trails will open at 8 am, Monday February 10th. Please use extra caution as the groomer has not yet been out. Please go slow as ditches and swamps will be hazardous if riding too fast for trail conditions. We are also asking that you go slow in corners and pack the trail down wide until we are able to pan the trails later this week. Please stay between trail markers, And ride safe!

Lena Sno-Drifters – 2/9/20

Open.

Chase Sno-Chasers – 2/9/20 CLOSED.

Snow Cover: Too good for you not to be here!

Date of Report: February 10, 2020

Groomers are running nightly, trails are in good shape. Groomers run once a day and typically at night, so towards the end of the day with lots of traffic the trails are going to be rough until the groomer goes out again. Trail #3 from the Wisconsin Border and Trail #2 east are both seeing over 250 sleds during a 6 hr period and this is making it very hard to hold the groom

Trail #3 from the Wisconsin border to Watersmeet good but lots of traffic very hard to hold a groom, Watersmeet to Paulding good. Both logging project on Trail #3 are done

Trail #2 west of Watersmeet out to Trail #1 south, very good

Trail #2 east of Watersmeet to Trail #107, good but lots of traffic hard to hold the groom
