THE FLOWAGE HAS NOT BEEN MARKED !!!!! we will check it out this weekend, right now the trails leading to it are in poor condition. We like to mark it all at once [over 20 miles ] as of today it is not safe enough for us to do this. You will see tracks out there, most are from fishermen that as a rule check the thickness as they go
Trails are still closed due to lack of snow. ATV’s and UTV’s may ride the trails north of Hwy C. The weather has been warm so the little bit of snow we did have is disappearing fast. Nothing of any amount is in the forecast.
Our new tractor is ready and being picked up today. The chains will be put on today and we will be ready to go once the weather cooperates.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all…

With the recent warm spurt most snow is gone throughout Washburn County. We will need a good amount of snow to begin building with a good base. Hopefully the flakes will start to fall again soon so the trail base can get up to grooming standards. We look forward to another great winter of snowmobiling in Washburn County! Keep thinking snow!

THE LAKE OF THE FALLS has been marked say by the stakes you will be fine. THE FLOWAGE IS NOT SAFE ENOUGHT TO MARK. Would advise you do not ride it till its marked !!!
*Please note – The Saunders Grade Traill will be closed for the entire 2018/2019 winter season due to significant damage caused by June 2018 flooding.*
The Clubs are actively working on preparing all winter trails for opening. The trails need to be inspected for safe frozen conditions in wet areas, removal of any deadfalls, and proper signage before opening. Currently, all trails have limited snowfall, but ice is forming in wet areas which help with trail openings.
Currently, the Wild Rivers, Gandy Dancer, and Tri-County Corridor, trails are open for ATV/UTV traffic. Trails 217, and Trail 41 are also partially open for ATV/UTV traffic.
For further information, please contact the Douglas County Forestry Department at 715-378-2219 Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm excluding Holidays.
