Trail Report – : Superior – Douglas County, Wisconsin – March 21, 2019

Reporter:nikky.farmakes

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: Less than 4-6″ in most areas.

Date of Report: March 21, 2019

Area Report:

Effective Midnight on Tuesday, March 19th, 2019 we are closing the majority of trails under our management.

Operating on closed trails is both illegal and may jeopardize our ability to use those lands for future seasons.

Due to the recent warm temperatures and significant rainfall the trail base has eroded and the thawing snowpack has resulted in reduced quality trails.

The following Douglas County managed trails remain open at this time: Wild Rivers Trail from the Harroun Road to the CTH A/C Parking Lot

Wild Rivers Trail from the Douglas/Washburn Co. Line to 300 feet north of CTH Y in Gordon Gandy Dancer Trail – MN stateline to Patzau

When leaving Douglas County or operating on trails managed by others within Douglas County, please contact the neighboring county, state, or trail operator to its regulations or status for ATV operation before entering the property.

Thank you to all the members of the Northwest Trails Association for the tremendous amount of work it takes to open and maintain the trail network.

THIS REPORT WAS PREPARED ON MONDAY, MARCH 18TH, 2019.

Due to the deteriorated conditions, all trails are being closed to ATV/UTV operations.

Douglas County Cross Country Ski Trails

All trails maintained by the Douglas County Forestry Department are closed for the season.

Superior Municipal Forest – Slow, but still in good shape despite how warm it has been, a few bad spots. Use caution. (As of 3/20/2019)

After Hours Ski Trail, Brule River State Forest – The main trail system was tracked and range from thin and crumbly to full depth. The skate lanes still have some equipment ruts but are flat and nice in other areas. Sally’s Classic Trail is still tracked from last week. Until the temperatures cool or until there is workable snow, grooming efforts will be suspended. Warm days and cold nights are making it increasingly difficult to maintain a high quality ski experience. (As of 3/19/2019)

Pattison State Park – The overlook trail has been groomed and tracked this week. Warm temperatures and rain have prevented the other trails from being groomed and tracked at this time. There is half depth track throughout the trail system and conditions may change rapidly with the warm weather. (As of 3/18/2019)

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – March 21, 2019

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: Snow cover dropping quickly due to temps in the 40’s

EAGLE RIVERS  TRAILS 
FAIR – POOR 
Trail 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Bridge trail is 
CLOSED FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON

March 21 2019 7:10am – 32 – High 47 

Well the chances of getting to the end of the month are not looking as good as this did this past weekend.  The Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance had it’s monthly meeting tonight.  The 11 clubs that make up the Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance have unanimously voted to close the trails on Sunday, March 24 at midnight.  So if you are going to ride do it quickly.

Sunny skies have taken a toll on most trails in Eagle River.  The warm days & cold nights had turned the SNOW into really crystallized icy SNOW.  Frozen in the morning then soft as the day went by.  Looks more like a frozen snow cone on the trails in the morning.  The base is still hard ice in most areas except in town.  Snirt & dirt appearing as well.

No grooming.

These important updates continue if you choose to ride this last weekend of the season:

There is 1 logging operations going on where there is a need to use parts of the trails. Trail 13N by Deep Lake Rd. Plus utility work on 7 near Sugar Camp on the high line.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Lots of slush so for the more experienced rider at this point.

The 2 one-way trail areas are 10E from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart.  The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area.  

Well we almost made.  Been a great season.  Here’s to another SNOWY 2019-2020 season!
