Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – January 21, 2020

Reporter:Phillips/Park Falls Chambers

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 16-20

Date of Report: January 21, 2020

Area Report:

The Price County Trail system consist of over 500 miles of scenic trails, great places to stop to fill up on fuel, food and beverages. The trails are maintained by 9 clubs and reported by the two Chambers.

****There is a reroute on Trail 120 that will be in effect all season. The reroute is on the Northern section that eliminates the old 120 trail from FR 519 to the intersection of 120 and 121. Reroute takes you NW up FR519 to Sheep Ranch to FR522 then connects to 101. This eliminates a very bad part of the swamp.****

After a lot of hard work from our volunteers we have made it through all the wet areas on our trails. I would like to thank all of them for their time and efforts. All trails are in awesome shape and will be groomed at least twice a week till the spring thaw we hope. Ride safe and have fun.

 

1/19/2020 PHILLIPS CHAPARRALS – All Chaparral trails are in good to excellent condition.  There is utility work being done on trail 102, corridor 12 and 21, north of the Price

County Airport.  Caution is advised.  There is a reroute of trail 161, corridor 12, at Musser Drive.  The route follows Musser Drive for about one mile.  This is due to a landowner removing his permission for the trail. The number one cause for trail closure is riders going off trail and free styling.  STAY ON MARKED TRAILS.  There will be brushing operations on some trails, watch for warning signs.  All trails are groomed at least two times per week.

1/19/2020 LK RIVER PIONEERS – Pioneer trails west of Phillips are in good condition.  There will be ruff areas in the Million Acre Swamp, caution is advised.  Ruff areas may be encountered on trail 80, and 85, corridor 12.  Logging operations can be found on trail 85. With the high snow banks, take extra caution at road crossings.  There is a reroute of trail 82, where it joins Price Lakes Road.  Follow the marked new trail.
