Trail Report For: Eagle River - 02/10/2012
Trail Report: Eagle River
Reported By: Holly Tomlanovich – Sno-Eagles, Inc. PROUD GROOMERS OF THE SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Date of Report: 02/10/2012
Trail Conditions: Unknown
Snow Cover: Hard to measure. Weather guys say 17 inches or more. On the trails it’s flatten so not that thick
Area Report: SNOW TO REPORT IN EAGLE RIVER, WISCONSIN!!!! Trails are Fair to Poor. With the best snow generally out in the woods. In towns it is not very good.
My husband Trail Boss Tom, John & Dale went out to what they thought would be to pan. A process we use to repair or start building an ice base. What they found on trails off the beaten path & trails not used as much was SNOW THAT THEY COULD ACTUALLY CUT & GROOM.
If you love to ride & know the season comes & goes & are prepared for what I call “Adventure Sledding” come on up. Bring extra hifax & bars. You will find along with snow….hard ice, crusty ice, ice, snow & dirt aka snirt & bare spots on your way to the SNOW. Spoke with 3 riders that came up from Iowa, because they want to ride. They rode 200 miles on Thursday & were surprised at what they found….FOR THE POSITIVE. There was not so good but a whole lot of GOOD.
If you want A-1 perfect stay home. This will not be your cup of tea.
The Lake Trails, Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trail are open & marked with orange reflective barrels. Please stay by them for safety. Do not go on any lake that is not marked as a trail. There are a lot of guys ice fishing so make sure to slow down as you drive by them plus there could be vehicle ruts. No surface slush to report. Cold temps fixed that. Please stay on the marked trails. A rider went into the water off of Circle Drive. This is NOWHERE NEAR the trail. Please be safe. I personally dropped into the water. It was cold & I am thankful that I got out with very wet & cold clothes & was safe.
SNO-EAGLES COUNTRY HAS 1 RE ROUTE OF A TRAILS THIS YEAR.
TRAIL 13 SOUTH has been re routed due to a landowner closing of a section of the original trail.
At the intersection of Trail 13 South & Trail 70 West behind the Dairy Queen… Trail 13 will now head west on the Trail 70 West Trail. It will continue west until it intersects with what is now Trail 7 South heading south & then connecting to the Sugar Camp Trail System.
The Trail section that heads South behind the Dairy Queen is now Trail 10. Trail 10 will use the “grade” to Willow Rd as the trail always has. At Willow Rd Trail 10 heads east(left turn) which also takes you to the Catfish Lake Loop.
Trail 13 heading through Eagle River & parts north remains the same.
I would strongly recommend that riders pick up a new 2012 Sno-Eagles Trail Map.
Pond Hockey this week on Dollar Lake which is right by the Chanticleer Inn on E. Dollar Lake by car/truck & Trail 1 off of Trail 10E or Eagle Lake Trail by sled.
Really need a COLD & SNOW DANCE!

Snowmobiling Information
Eagle River has long held the distinction of SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, and it’s a matter of pride that causes local clubs and businesses to work so diligently to maintain that title. Snowmobile fever becomes a way of life in our Eagle River winters, and the talk often turns to “picks”, “carbides” and performance. In fact, these snow machines seem to outnumber cars during the winter months.
Over 500 MILES OF GROOMED TRAILS connect the communities of the area, including access to major county and state routes. Trails wind throughout the area’s scenic forests, but frequently pass close to service businesses which can provide you with fuel and sustenance, shelter and refreshment. If you don’t have your own snowmobile, several dealerships will be happy to provide you with equipment during your visit.
