Trail Report For: Manitowish Waters - 02/02/2012
Trail Report: Manitowish Waters
Reported By: Cody Griffith
Date of Report: 02/02/2012
Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 3-7
Area Report: Warm weather and sun have taken their toll on sections of trail exposed to sun. The trails in the woods are still good. The forecast is calling for more warm weather and sun. I can’t tell you what the trails will be like this weekend. That is going to depend on how much sun we get. I do know that Northern Central Wisconsin has the only rideable snow in the State. Will we get more snow next week? I dont know, I hope so. I can only suggest that if you are riding in the next few days, try to stay on trails that are shaded and know that heavily traveled trails in and out of towns are going to be “Snirty” The ice base is still there, just getting dirty. It is currently overcast. Remember our club Breakfast this Sunday at The Tower Inn 8am-noon. Kurt does a great job with the food and we will have raffles and pull tabs available.

Snowmobiling Information
The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters snowmobile club was founded in 1968 and is one of the oldest snowmobile clubs in existence today in Wisconsin. Located in the very northwest corner of Vilas county, Manitowish Waters borders the Lake Superior snow-belt country. With average snowfalls of 150 inches and over 25 miles of professionally groomed trails, the area is one of Vilas County’s top winter vacation areas.
The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.
The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today.
