Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: Mushy base frozen plus 4-6"
Date of Report: February 20, 2026
Snowmobile Information:
OK, so Hornshoe trails beachhead got pounded by the warm temps and sun. But then we received snow I would say 4-6″ by my house. Trailboss Nick reports that the trails in the sun are thin, the road trails in the sun are pavement, and the lake trails are excellent. Follow the blazers on the lakes since the trails are packed down. Out of the blazers you may end up riding on a mushy snowcone. Overall Nick rates fair to good.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION: Been a bad year for reckless driving and alcohol related incidents. A lot of 2nd and third riders in the group hugging the inside curve like the leader is clearing the trail of oncoming traffic. Pay attention, ride right and stay right. Observe the 55 MPH at night because Big Brother has been watching-especially the lake accesses.
Have fun and be safe. We put a lot of volunteer time in to make Hornshoe Trails the best. We want you here to enjoy our trails, patronize our businesses, but ride right and stay in one piece.

Snowmobiling Information

QUALITY is the word we use to describe the great snowmobiling trails in Lac du Flambeau Wisconsin. Thanks to all our hardworking snowmobile club members, the Northern Hornshoe Trails Club, our snowmobiling trails have been recognized as some of the best in the state of Wisconsin. We are known for our good will, friendliness, and our culture and history.
Lac du Flambeau Wisconsin is well known for scenic snowmobiling trail vistas and dense woods combine with the awesome vastness of the Powell Marsh Wildlife area and reserve that you cross, makes this one of the most enjoyable rides you will have all season. After a fun ride on the snowmobile trails visit one of our many restaurants, retail stores or casino.
The Lac du Flambeau Wisconsin snowmobile trails are also centrally located so that staying here makes it possible for you to go south to the Minocqua, St. Germain and Eagle River areas, or go north to the “snow belt areas” of northern Vilas County, and on to the UP of Michigan. They are all a short ride away.
We look forward to your visit to our beautiful area. PLEASE ride safe!
