Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – January 15, 2026

Reporter:BayfieldCounty
Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 4-6
Date of Report: January 15, 2026
Area Report:

We had pretty warm temps and even some rain earlier this week. Overall, trails are still in good condition with some icy spots. Some much needed snow is predicted for Friday/Saturday.

All trails are now open in Bayfield County! BUT this could change at any time so if you do come across a trail closed sign, DO NOT go around it. It is closed for a reason.

Reroute – small reroute on trail 51 near intersection of 31 due to a logging in the area. Reroute is signed.

Stay safe, ride right and ride sober!

News and Reports:

Apostle Island Snowmobile Club – no report

Barnestormers – no report

Corny Sno-Goers – no report

Drummond Dirt-Sno Jacks – All trails are in excellent condition despite the warm up. Grooming operations will continue with the colder temps. Ride with caution on roads as they are ice covered.

Namakagon Trail Groomers – All NTG trails have been groomed. We will continue to groom as weather permits. We have been holding off on warm days to not stir it up and loose the great base we have.

Trail 15 / 90 from Pioneer bar to Lake Namakagon has limited grooming since the bridge has been inspected and restricted by weight so our groomer cannot go over it. It will be rough. We are doing our best to keep it as smooth as possible.

Northern Adventures – Well we groomed 31 north and 3 north. 22 and 24 also. 31 south and corridor tomorrow. Trail4 on Friday. We took a few days off of grooming due to the warm weather. 

South Shore Trails Club – Trail 1 west is being groomed today, trail 1 east was groomed Monday and will be groomed again this Friday. Trail 40, 43, 66, and trail 3 will be groomed Thursday. All trails remain in good shape with icy corners, snow is expected in our area Thursday and Friday for 3 to 6 inches.

Waino – Trail 1 west of Port Wing to Brule was groomed yesterday and in great shape. 

Washburn Valhellers – We are grooming all our trails as weather allows without destroying the good base we have. We are mostly top dressing and panning to hold base until colder weather when we can groom more aggressively and smooth and fill better. The only exception right now is we are not grooming trail 13 between Ashland and Washburn due to lack of snow close to the lake. It is rideable with some bare spots. Washburn to Valhalla is being groomed 1/15 well as the Valhalla trail system. 31 ,33, 63 are being groomed 1/14. Hope we get some snow later this week.

White River Ramblers – No report
