Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 22, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies
Trail Conditions: Excellent
Snow Cover: 10-12”
Date of Report: February 22, 2026
Area Report:

Wow, a lot of traffic was out again this Saturday. Trails I rode early in the morning were moguls by evening. With the fresh snow we received this week helped out a lot. Every trail in Conover was hit last night, and they panned in beautifully. Looks like every club has been out at least on their busier trails flattening them back out.

I met some bigger groups last night while grooming. Most understand to find a place to get off the trail to allow me to pass. If the groomer has the ability to get off the trail, they will and signal to the group that is safe to pass. I had a few ride up to the groomer and stared at me. I had to signal to go back to a clearing. Had another 2 come up behind me, but they didn’t feel comfortable passing me, so I continued on to a trail intersection where they could pick another trail to go down.

As we close out the last week of February and head into March, this has been a great season for riding. Hopefully we can go all the way to end of March.

Ride Right, Ride Safe

SNOWED overnight & SNOWING a bit right now. Maybe 3-4 inches out east this morning.

GTS – Groomer Tracking shows nearly full grooming overnight. Trails not groomed:

Trail 10E to include the spur trail – NOTE Short section from the Grade to Bloom Rd was groomed

Club Trail that spurs of 10/7 north & west of Town coming out on Hwy G

Rode 200+ miles yesterday in Vilas County mostly the east & northeast. Ton of traffic everywhere with large groups. Headed out on 10E from our house. AM 10E Good including Sno-Eagles section & Three Lakes section. After leaving Three Lakes trails heading west on 10 very rough. Same with 6. Heavy traffic up there. We rode out west on 6 for a bit. Turned around & decided to head toward Conover. Heading south on 6 rough til Trail 8. Took 8 to Trail 12 to avoid some of the traffic as that is mostly woods riding with some road. Headed to Pioneer Lake which again is combo of woods & road. Not bad & lower traffic. Crossed Pioneer Lake. The new flashing lights on entrances are great! From there heading to Eagle River it is a lot of road riding on Chicago Ave to Hwy 45 crossing. Started toward Eagle River on 10/13 but met the groomer. Wasn’t enough room to pass so we turned around & took Trail 3 to 17 into town to the grade. Again tons of traffic. Grade through town & south to Trail 10E. With all the traffic 10E was rough. Grooming overnight & trails are ready to go & smoother. Great day of riding! Ridin’ again Monday!

Daily Reminders:
Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. The Club is working on a reroute.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail. There are mogul drifts along the barrels so recommend slowing down. Lots of SNOW mist so leave space between you & rider in front.

Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter. If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 8-10″

Date of Report: February 20, 2026

Area Report:

At 8:00 a.m., it’s 26 degrees out with light snow falling. We are on the western edge of the
current snow pattern and are expecting an inch of new snow this morning. We have a .m., cool
down coming for the weekend.
Unfortunately, we are down to one groomer again but our remaining groomer has been out
around the clock. We last groomed 8E Wednesday p.m., 15S Thursday a.m., 8W and 15N/6E
Thursday p.m., and 2W early this morning.
Our trails are in late season riding conditions ranging from fair to good depending on the trail.
In the open areas you can encounter some puddles especially going south of town on trail
15S,8E and going west of town on trail 2W, 8W. It hasn’t been cold enough for these to freeze
up overnight. You will also encounter some thin spots especially on the hills and inside corners
but overall, we still have enough snow to continue grooming.
Tomorrow, we are hosting our annual Trailside Brat Fry at our Groomer Shed. This event starts
at 11:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. If you are traveling by, stop in and enjoy a meal. We will
have tables inside the Groomer Shed and a bonfire outside.
Please ride safe, ride right, and enjoy the trails and area businesses while in our neck of the
woods!
Look for an updated trail report on Monday, 2/23.

Trail Report – : Antigo/Langlade County, Wisconsin – February 20, 2026

Reporter:langlade

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 4-6

Date of Report: February 20, 2026

Area Report:

ZONE A (North Forest Zone) OF THE LANGLADE COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL SYSTEM INCLUDING STATE FUNDED TRAILS ARE SCHEDULED TO REOPEN ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20TH, AT 12:00 P.M. (noon). ZONE B remains temporarily closed until further notice.

ATVs are not allowed on the trails when the temperature is above 28° F. UTVs are not allowed on the Langlade County Snowmobile trail at any time system due to weight and width of the machines.

The Langlade County Snowmobile clubs, sponsors and operators of the existing trails, have put in many volunteered hours brushing, signing, and grooming to provide snowmobile trails for your use. Please support the snow clubs, thank them for their efforts and patronized their business sponsors.

All lake trails in Langlade County are considered unsafe and should not be utilized until they have been clearly marked by a local snowmobile club. As always, the Langlade County Forestry, Parks & Recreation Department recommends riders stay on clearly marked trails, ride safe and ride “right”.

The snowmobile clubs spend a considerable amount of time working with landowners to be able to provide the exceptional trail system we have. Please respect private property and the efforts of the clubs to access private property; use of trails across private lands is a privilege. Always exercise caution when riding a snowmobile, due to recent warm weather, pockets of water are present throughout the trail system. Additionally, with recent high winds and wet snow, many trees/tops have come down throughout the trail system the snowmobile clubs have been out clearing trails, but riders are advised to use caution and be aware of changing conditions while on the trails.

For questions regarding specific trail conditions, please contact the local snowmobile club or visit their social media accounts or go to www.langladecounty.org/resources/trail-reports/. You may also contact the Forestry, Parks and Recreation at 715-627-6300.

We hope that you enjoy the Langlade county trail system this winter and thank you for supporting the economy and businesses of Langlade County!

This SNOW is running in line where most SNOW will fall in a line running a little west of Rhinelander, Eagle River & Land o’ Lakes, heading to the east.

Teens or single digits at night. Bit more SNOW tomorrow. NO EVIL SUN!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 20, 2026

Reporter:mcpossin

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.

Warm weather last weekend took quite the hit to our snow and trails. Thankfully we have a good solid base on the ground. Grooming has started back up last night when we received and average of 5″ on the trail system. Cooer temps are in the forecast and so is some more snow. Trail 6 and a good portion on trail 17was groomed last night. We do have a groomer down and will do the best we can to keep the trails groomed. This is the best time to come up and ride. Milder temps, good snow base, and fewer people on the trail. Please support our sponsors.
