VILAS COUNTY TRAILS REMAIN CLOSED AT THIS TIME
We received 4-5” of fresh snow Tuesday night. There is more in the forecast for tonight and again Sunday. We have panned in the recent snow and inspected the trails. Once all 11 clubs vote on a date to reopen, we will post it to social media and I’ll update this post.
We will probably not open the cemetery trail from Pioneer Lake north to Muskrat Creek Rd. There is a swamp in there that has probably opened up and all of this trail is on private land. Pioneer lake no longer has barrels marking it, nor does Buckatabon Lake from Bauers Dam to Deer Path Resort. North Twin Lake is still marked, stay by the barrels when crossing.

Area Report:
The Vilas County Trail System still remains closed at this time.
At 8:00 a.m., it’s 9 degrees out sunny skies. We received 4.5” of snow yesterday and are
expecting 4”-8” tonight. Other area clubs have been out panning yesterday and we will be going
out today and tomorrow to smooth things out.
With the cold weather and additional new snow, we are anticipating that the trails may reopen
soon. But before that happens, all Vilas County club trails need to be inspected and verified that
they are safe and a vote needs to be held between the 11 Vilas County clubs.
Keep an eye on social media for any upcoming public service announcement regarding Vilas
County trails reopening!

Trail Report 03/11/2026
We received measurable snow last night into this morning with more in the forecast into the weekend.
We will be resuming grooming operations later this afternoon and evening. From our inspections, there is still remaining base in the woods, the swamps have started to lose ice which won’t support our grooming equipment but are still frozen over.
Our intentions are to look at re-opening our sections of trails in the near future. Be advised if we do open, our grooming will be limited to main land only.
We will update on any decisions made.
As always ride right, ride smart, ride sober and slow down.

Area Report:
Our trail system is in pretty tough shape, we’ve had fairly warm and sunny temps for the past week. There is not enough snow for grooming at this time. Currently, there are very icy conditions when it’s cold enough and several bare spots on several trails. Grooming will not begin again unless we receive a good 12 inches of new snow. However, keep an eye on the upcoming storms this week and let’s see what we get.
This report will be updated if the trail conditions improve. If not, this will be the last report for this season. Again, it was a great season and we enjoyed seeing all the snowmobiles and riders out on the trails the past 4 months.
Happy Trails!!

Area Report:
Effective immediately, all Bayfield County SNOWMOBILE/ATV/UTV trails are closed for the season. Last week, trails in the southern half of Bayfield County were closed but the north remained open. Warm weather and rain over the weekend have caused very wet and inconsistent trail conditions in northern Bayfield County.
ATV/UTV trails will re-open when conditions allow as determined by Bayfield County Forestry and Parks. Historically, sometime in May. The Tri-County Corridor and ATV/UTV road routes remain open as usual.

Area Report:
With the warm temps we have had this last week and now, the Vilas County trails will temporarily close at 8am on 3/10/26. This allows us to reopen the trails if we receive enough snow. All the clubs will have to go out and pan/inspect their trails before reopening. So, just because it snows, doesn’t mean the trails are open again.
This was a great year with the trails open 81 days. A lot better than the last 2!
General meeting at Bauers Dam on Tuesday evening. The Big Cash Raffle winner will be drawn at the meeting. Hope to see everyone there.
