Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – February 12, 2019

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 14-18”

Date of Report: February 12, 2019

Area Report:

Here are your current conditions:
Lots of fresh snow this week again. You may encounter a icy corner. Everything is in excellent shape. Now is the time to ride. Trails are excellent. Watch out for low hanging branches. All trails are being groomed 4-5 times a week. Trails have a great hard base. May develop some icy corners as the day goes on.

Please, slow down and limit your drinking. Way too many fatalities in northern Wisconsin, and they all can be prevented.

Lakes are all marked. Remember, stay as close to the barrels as possible. If you don’t see barrels, assume they are not safe.

Please respect our private landowners and stay on the trail. We have had a couple issues this year already and it always puts our trails in danger.

Use caution at all road crossing as they are icy.

Trails Very Good to Excellent

February 12 2019 6:00am – 16 – High 17 – Light SNOW

Here comes more SNOW! Checking weather sites the weather guys are forecasting 6-9 inches of SNOW today into tonight.  After grooming the trails will be fantastic.

Trails are in great shape.  Very few problems to report.  Might find a few sections that have a bit of chop.  If the traffic picks up with the depth of the SNOW there could be bumps.  Riding found a few areas with low level snirt.  These are the areas where the SNOW just can’t get down onto the trails in some thicker woods. Road crossing have improved.  But with the new SNOW just starting to fall road crews will be out sanding & treating the roads so the snirt at the crossings could increase.  Did also find a few corners where the ice base was exposed by blow out.  Very slippery.  So please slow down.

Heading into some great riding temps.  Today 17.  Wednesday 26. Thursday 27.  Friday 15. Forecast for single digits at night maybe a 1 or 2 below in the mix.  Great riding weather.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Stay by the reflective orange barrels.  There was wind Sunday evening so there could be some moguls.  Be safe & slow down.

Been mentioning this all season:

Sno-Eagles Country has 2 areas that have one-way trails.  10E is a one-way trail 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.  Clearly marked with DO NOT ENTER signs.  Plus trail signs are backwards if you are going the wrong way.  

Thanks for THINKING SNOW!!!  Are you riding?  If not why?
See ya on the trails!

Ashland County Snowmobile Report February 11, 2019
Trails in Ashland County are open and  grooming is in process.  Trails are in very good condition.  The trail from Marengo north to the East end of Ashland, is closed, however there is a detour route in place that is marked.  The Tri-County Corridor is OPEN and has been groomed!

As always please follow the snowmobile trail rules and regulations. Stay on trail, as much of the Ashland County snowmobile trail system uses private property and could be lost if the property owners experiences issues. The most common complaints are snowmobiles not staying on trails or going off into fields that are not part of the trail, and loud noise from non-stock muffler systems. Respect the trail system so that it remains open. As always operate with everyone’s safety in mind and report any hazardous trail issues that are observed to the Ashland County Sheriff’s Department (715-682-7023 opt 1) so that it can be forwarded to the appropriate service.

The Tri-County Corridor is open from Superior to Ashland. There are still several areas on the eastern end that require attention but all known hazards have been identified and marked. Use caution when approaching ribbons, barricades, and cones.

Important reminders: There is no snowmobiling allowed from Ashland to Bad River/Odanah as snowmobiling is not permitted on reservation land.  However, snowmobiling is allowed from Bad River east to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

If you would like to receive an Ashland County Snowmobile map, let us know and we will mail one out to you! Call us at 715/682-2500 or toll-free at 1-800-284-9484.
