Still Early Season Riding
Trails Good to Fair

January 17, 2019 6:45am – 0 degrees – High of 21

Another cold one this morning. Great for trail set up. With grooming the mushy SNOW before the temps drops the trails are now really smooth.

Some early SNOW yesterday morning that was it. None over night or this morning.

Did not ride yesterday. But was out & about with my car & the trails I could see where very smooth. Road crossings are snirty from all the road sand & where there are icy inclines. Tonight plan to ride into town for a Club meeting. Let you know in the morning how they were.

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.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Stay by the reflective orange barrels. Do not drift away from the barrels as it is not safe to do so. Remember not all lakes have trails so if you don’t see marker do not ride on it to be safe. These are the only 2 lakes that are marked in Sno-Eagles Country. No other lake trails.

Last, there is a dusk to dawn speed limit of 55 MPH.

Continue DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE & THINK COLD!

See ya on the trails tonight!

Snowmobiling Reports

The Sno Drovers Pike lake Area 1/16/2019

The Sno Drovers’ trails in the Pike Lake area continue to be in fair to good condition. While the weekend traffic was hard on the thin snow cover, but they are grooming up well. There are rocks in areas that have made their way to the top of the snow, especially on 101 west from the lakes by the iron bridge and on 111 just north of Fish Trap Road. There are occasional bare spots, but not too many nor too bad. If we get just a few inches of snow, the trails should be great since they are nice and flat now.

Logging continues on Trail 120 south of the big swamp and Fould’s Creek Rd and on Trail 108 between Trail 101 and highway 70. Take these slowly and expect icy conditions and logging equipment.

Eisenstein Bushwackers and Sno-Gypsies 1/16/2019

Trails in the area are being groomed regularly now. They continue to be in fair to good conditions. Additional snow would be a welcome site. The lakes in the area are solid but always be careful on water. See the clubs Facebook pages for videos of the trails being groomed all around the area.

Thank you from the Sno-Gypises and the Bushwackers, Please enjoy our trails and be Safe.

Northwoods Hi-Riders- Solberg Lake Area 1/14/2019

We need snow, but the trails around the Solberg Lake area are rideable and in Fair condition. The Groomers have been out “panning” the trails, but there is not a lot of snow to work with for the full groomer drag. There tends to be more snow in the wooded areas and more going north and east. Solberg Lake was marked with barrels over the week end. The lake has good ice, but it is always best to stay on the marked trail. The Hi-Riders are having their annual Radar Fun Run and Vintage Sled Show this Saturday at Roll In Point on Solberg Lake, so even if trail riding isn’t the best, come out and join us for some fun.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 16, 2019

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Zero to 3 inches

Date of Report: January 16, 2019

Area Report:

Hello Riders,

While we continue to wait for snow and all sit on the edge of our seats wondering daily what the trail conditions are, the good word is that most of the trails are good from the center of the county to the north. While this may seem surprising given the minimal snow Mother Nature is giving us this is the all-around consensus from clubs, businesses, volunteers and of course, directly from the rider’s mouths. The southern area is not in good condition due to the limited snow they have received and is icy with minimal snow cover. From the Flowage to the north most areas are reported to be in good condition. Some icy spots on the lakes and some icy corners in addition to some thin spots on the open trails where areas are exposed, for example railroad grades that are exposed to the open weather and/or rode heavier are reported to be in fair condition. But the wooded trails and to the north the majority are reported to be good. Due to that icy base the trails are flat and smooth. Groomers in the Moose Lake area have been out the last couple of days, also some to the north near Lake Namakagon have been out in recent days. Temps continue to bring cold so no major melt downs anywhere in the near future.

Also please remember ATV/UTV trails are open in Sawyer County, if you have never seen the north woods in the winter now is the time to take in the breathtaking still winter sights!

We will continue to report any updated information as we receive it. Thank you to all club members, volunteers and to you for making Sawyer County your riding destination!
