EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
On Average Fair

Start of the weekend!  Warm up continues.  Trails still have ice base & are soft SNOW covered out of town.  In town trails still have base in most areas.  Snow has lots of moisture, so conditions are wet in town.  Again out of town riding is your best bet. Expect quick changing conditions.  Taking a short ride today.  Let you know the conditions tomorrow morning.

As for grooming, the Groomer Tracking Systems shows nearly a full grooming last night.  Only trails that were not groomed were 3N aka Manske Swamp, 17N, Trail 1 that heads to Eagle Lake trail & club trail off of Trail 10W that heads toward Hwy G.

Temps up & down. Another stretch of warm much like the one in January. Looks to be a weather pattern coming that should bring SNOW starting Wednesday night.  Stay tuned.

Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are marked.  Please stay by the orange reflective barrels. Surface is very hard with moguls. With the warm up surface slush.  SLOW DOWN. Remember not all lakes are safe. 


Again, off trail riding is a big problem.  PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL & Take the Snowmobilers Pledge.

THINK COLD!!!  Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! 

See ya on the trails!

Ashland County trails are reported in GOOD conditions.   Trails have been groomed and the southern Ashland County area has been experiencing heavy traffic on the trails.  Warm temperatures and sun have softened the base but with cold nighttime temps they are firming up.

Snow Cover: 2-8″

Date of Report: February 9, 2023

Snowmobile Information:

Heavy sled traffic today. Temps in mid 30’s. Trail 1, Stearns Lake Road, and East Boundary, still good with enough snow to stay operational. Trail 17 from Woodruff to H, still plenty of snow. Needs grooming, but we are standing down while it is warm.Trail along F good yet. 17 North of H good. The areas around Raven Lake are beat up, and I advise no barrel racing. Corners are blowing out, and banks are tired so it is hard to fill in. Lots of brown. 5 into casino is tannish, but plenty of snow yet. The sand pit area is good yet. Harrisons north is good, but out in the Powell Marsh the grade is getting thin, with stones showing. Sleds are bypassing the bridge, and running in the marsh. It was 36 today. Friday 23/13. Saturday 38/21. Sunday 39/24. Pummel the beaches this weekend, then Monday 37/25, Tuesday 41/31, Wednesday 37/18. Ride right, stay on trail, and stay alert – conditions change daily. Mark

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 9, 2023

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 12-16 inches

Date of Report: February 9, 2023

Area Report:

The temps have been warmer during the day but luckily we started out with an abundance of snow for the season so trails still have a great base. Due to the warmer temps the groomers have backed off grooming during the day, as to not damage trails, but most have been going out as much as they can during the late evening and early morning hours when temps are cold and conditions are frozen. They will continue through the weekend again late at night or early morning as they can, so please know they are doing what they can during the hours possible. You can track the most up to date grooming on the GTS app. While temps are warm during the day we still look ahead to a good weekend.

Lakes are staked (with the exception of Lake Hayward). Please stay on the trail as much as possible and if you have to move off, ride with caution.

Ride safe and enjoy!
