Groomers are holding off tonight due to the warm temps today, we don’t want to risk damaging the base we have, trails are holding up well, one more warm day tomorrow and forecasts look great going into the holidays!
Our crew is out working nonstop, we are continuing packing swamps and clearing trails. If you’d like to help clear brush we still have two trails left that have major damage that more help would be greatly appreciated, please reach out to our Trail Boss.
Stay off the lakes, ice is not safe at this time.
Snowmobiling Information
Read Before You Ride!
The Mercer Area Sno-Goers is a volunteer snowmobile club located in Iron County, Wisconsin which is widely known to host the best snowmobile trails in the state. Contributing to that statement we receive over 200 inches of yearly snowfall accompanied by lake effect snow and is further more reason Iron County is a premier destination for snowmobile enthusiasts across the United States.
Tree covered trails, waterfalls, and the Turtle Flambeau Flowage are just a few examples of what our trail system has to offer. As remote and deep in the Northwoods you may travel, you’ll never be too far from a one of a kind establishment to meet your needs.
Being established in 1967 makes it one of the first organized clubs at its time. We have over 150 miles of maintained and groomed trails in the southern part of Iron County. Our club membership exceeds 900 members with 100 commercial sponsorships. We were awarded Club of the Year by the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) in 2022, American Council of Snowmobile Clubs (ACSA), and International Club of the year (ISHOF) in 2023, Inducted into the International Snowmobile Hall of Fame in 2023, and have been designated a Snowmobile Friendly County since 2019.
Our mission statement is making the best trails better, from being involved in local politics, widening trails, improving signage, to increasing membership, our goal remains the same; giving our visitors a once in a lifetime experience when enjoying our trail system.
