Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – February 17, 2021

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4-12 inches

Date of Report: February 17, 2021

Area Report:

 

Snow base (in inches):  4-12 inches

Status (Closed, Open, Partially Open): Open

Condition (Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent): Good

 

Not a whole lot of change from last week. The cold temps have helped keep trails in good condition. Groomers are out making the trails beautiful for the weekend.

 

The same trouble spots still remain:

  • The Grand View and Mason areas didn’t receive much snow and sled traffic could damage farm fields. Please use caution.
  • The trail into the City of Bayfield will not open this year, but we’re hopeful for next year.
  • Trail 1 to the casino in Red Cliff is open with a re-route. It’s a bit rough in spots so use caution. The re-route utilizes the right of way along the highway so please respect private landowners and follow the signs and groomed path.

 

Namakagon Trail Groomers: all trails groomed 2/15. Good condition.

 

Barnestormers: Thanks to the cold weather our trails have held up well. I would rate them at very good however the sharp corners and hills are getting thin. They are still logging on trail 31 south of 43 road and have a couple of miles plowed. Use caution when riding in this area.

GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours

GROOMED:
*
Trail through town both north & south

*Alt 13/3S to Three Lakes trails connect
*10E – that includes 9mile trail
*Trail 1 aka Gramp Graham – located off 10E starting at West Carpenter Lk Rd by Catch 22
*Trail 10/13 heading north from town to include the section that crosses Wisconsin River snowmobile bridge
*Most of the 13N trails that head up to the Bauers Dam Buckatabon Lake area
*Trail 3N aka Manske Swamp that is the cut across between 13N & 17N
*Trail 17N

Best way to learn the trails is to buy a Sno-Eagles trail map. It also had the entire Vilas county trails on the backside.  Plus download the GTS trails app  It is available at the App Store.

Very little change in trail conditions due to the current very cold weather.  There is a very hard base of 3+ inches with loose SNOW on top.  Next best bets for SNOW is next week.  No totals yet.  It’s the end of February & the day time temperatures will pop up which should bring on the SNOW.  With the end of February into March comes that evil sun that stays out long.  So trail conditions will change & soften up.  Stay tuned.  Get out & ride.

Please stay on the trails to keep the trails open.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels.  Please stay by the barrels to be safe. Both are bumpy so might want to slow down. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!
