When
the snow begins to fall, high levels of snowmobile excitement abound
in Marinette and Oconto Counties. Well marked and meticulously maintained
trails meander through this region providing a true Northwoods riding
experience.
Perhaps
one of the most well known trails in the state is the Nicolet Trail
250 Mile Marathon, which offers a self-guided tour through the natural
beauty of the Nicolet National Forest. State Corridor 7 offers a
north-south route through the area from Townsend, through Lakewood
and Mountain, continuing south toward Suring.
From
this main route, riders can choose from unlimited destinations such
as a trek on the Charlie Brown Trail System near Mountain. Maintained
by the Chute Pond Snowmobile Club, this system provides fun and
exciting loop trips through the forest area.
It
also offers interconnecting trails that travel north toward Waubee
and Pickerel Lake or travel east to the Caldron Falls and High Falls
Reservoirs of the scenic Peshtigo River. From here riders join another
famous trail network, the Iron Snowshoe Trails. This trail system,
located just west of Crivitz, provides snowmobilers with some of
the area’s best trailside pit stops.
North
of Crivitz, snowmobilers can connect with State Corridor 3 for a
journey north to the Dunbar, Goodman and Pembine areas. From this
point riders have the option of taking a trek into Michigan’s
Upper Peninsula, or traveling west across Wisconsin.
Throughout
this region riders will find warm welcoming resorts to call home
for their weeklong or weekend excursions. Plenty of trailside stops
offer excellent food ranging from delicious steaks to juicy chicken
and hamburgers.
