EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Late Season Riding
Late Season Riding in Eagle River on the Sno-Eagles trails. Expect ALL conditions when riding. Still worth riding especially heading into the woods trails. Those trails are still in Good to Very Good shape. Woods section on Trail 13N, 10E, 17N. Then there are trail along a highway, especially on the north side of a east/west road. Those require a bit of Adventure Sledding! Same with wide open areas. In town is covered except road crossing. Wet snow. Water at many of the crossing as you get to the northern part of the trails that are in town.
3 inches of SNOW did help a bit but need more. That might happen starting tonight. There is a Winter Weather Advisory that starts tonight through 4am Monday morning. The advisory is for 5-8 inches. The hour by hour looks closer to 5+. Temps are going to be in the 20’s so it’s going to stick & should be packy SNOW. Perfect for grooming!!!
Grooming resumed last night. Combination of rolling, panning and some grooming. Nearly a complete session with the exception of Alt13S, 1 to Eagle Lake and 13N from after the Wisconsin River bridge crossing heading north.
With the number of accidents & fatalities this season will keep reminding you when riding:
When you come upon a group of sleds in front of you on the trail. Passing them can get you in trouble. Have been seeing this all winter. When an entire group passes, by the time the last sled passes, a sled could be coming from the other direction.
Remember as you ride & meet a groomer the equipment is NOT able to leave the trail due to it’s weight. Pull over & stop. Wait for direction from the driver. Give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!
Please ride on the right side, slow down, limit alcohol & no off trail riding.
Catfish Eagle lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Surface slush on the snow. Stay by the barrels.
Take the snowmobiliers pledge to protect snowmobiling access for today’s and future snowmobiliers.
Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!
Adventure Sledding Season! It’s not over. See ya on the trails!

Area Report:
We got 8-10” of heavy wet snow in our area overnight. The ground is wet with some spots not frozen and some places have standing water. Sorry to say that it is likely the trails are going to remain closed and are likely closed for the season. We will post if anything changes but at this point/ time of the year it seems very unlikely. Riding on closed trails is trespassing and can result in citations. Thank you.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Friday, 3/10/2023
At 8:00 a.m. it’s 24 degrees out with light snow falling and a high of 24 degrees today.
We received 2”-3” of new snow last night and we groomed our entire trail system last night and early this morning.
Our trails are in good to very good condition and riding today should be great. Our club ride on Wednesday took the Boulder, Manitowish, Mercer, Presque Isle loop and all the trails were in very good condition with the exception of Trail 6 going east out of Presque Isle which was sun exposed and getting thin on snow.
With cooler temps and 5”- 8” of snow predicted from Saturday night into Monday morning, our trails should be in good shape through next week.
Enjoy our trails and local businesses this week and as always “Ride Right” and be safe.

Others may adjust their hours as the season slows down. As you move through March and plan rides, please consider the places you want to stop and make sure to check out their hours.
