Boulder Junction Trail Report 1/26/21

With rideable trails, cooler temps, and a chance for snow, we had more riders in our area this weekend. From Thursday through Sunday we had 1,013 sleds go by our trail counter. Our groomers were out everyday this past weekend.

With minimal snow predicted for this week, but colder temps, we will continue to groom our trails. All of our trail system was groomed on Monday to give our midweek riders some decent trails.

Trail 2W to Manitowish Waters is shaping up and we are finally getting the ruts and divots filled in along Bear Lake Road. This trail is rated fair to good with excellent riding on Keego Lake Road.

Trail 8W to Manitowish Waters is thin in the hilly sections and is rated fair to good with excellent riding on Day Lake Road north and south of the intersections of 8W & 51S.

Trails 15N & 6E have improved with the weekend snow and are rated as fair to good with the road portion of 6E very good.

Trails 15S and 8E have also improved with the weekend snow and are rated as fair to good with the road portion of 8E as excellent.

I will be doing an on sled trail inspection on Wednesday and will provide an updated trail report on our next post.

Trail advisory: If riding on the Boulder Junction airport spur trail, please stay on the edge of the runway parallel to the road in both directions. Damage has been done to the runway and if it continues, we could potentially lose access to this trail.

If you are going to be riding our trails, please be careful, stay on the marked trails, and have a good time.

Think snow!

GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours
ALL trails groomed EXCEPT 17N, 1N & S, 10E,
3N & WI River section of 10/13

Groomers were out last night grooming. All trails heading west were groom except the east side of Wisconsin River Bridge area of 10/13. It was groomed on the west side after crossing the bridge. Trails heading east weren’t groomed last night but were groomed Sunday night. Rode those trails yesterday & the east trails were FAIR to GOOD.

Trail 3N aka Manske Swamp is now open. This trail is a cut across between 13N & 17N.

Off trail riding continues to be a problem throughout Vilas county. What this is doing is jeopardizing trail easements & will cause trail section closures. Please once again stay on marked trails.

ONEIDA COUNTY trails open at noon Tuesday, January 26.
No word on FOREST COUNTY.

Took a 50+ ride yesterday afternoon from about 6 miles east on 10E to trail 1S that takes you to Eagle lake. 10E was Good. 1S was Fair. Eagle lake frozen tight by barrels. 1S from boat launch to trail 17N had areas of snirt & grit under the tree area but pretty smooth. 17N that comes out on Columbus road was gritty with some small bumps & Fair. 17S heading toward highway 45N was Fair to Good. Sections under trees on 17S was gritty. Was happy to see 3N aka Manske Swamp trail open. It is frozen tight & pretty smooth & Good. From trail 3N intersection of 10/13N it was bumpy & gritty & not groomed. This was the case all the way to the other side of the Wisconsin River bridge to where 10 & 13 split out west. Took 10 back toward Eagle River to include the spur that comes out by Uncle Kent’s. All Good. To get back to 10/13 we rode the ditchline. That is not a grooming area so it was an Adventure. Back to town with the “grade” in Good to Very Good condition. South all the way to Oneida county line & turned around & came back. Very Good to Excellent. 10E back home. Taking the Catfish lake loop. 10E heading west was Fair to Good.

Trail Report – : Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin – January 25, 2021

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: looking better

Date of Report: January 25, 2021

Area Report:

The Frosty Club groomers have been out and all Frosty Club trails are in fair to good condition. A little snow each day and cold temps (-4) have really improved trail conditions. Are they perfect??? NO. Are they worth the trip to Land O Lakes and surrounding trail systems? HELL YEA! If you wait for perfection conditions you may never get out this season.

Hope to see you in Land O Lakes as this is the time to ride before the weekend traffic arrives.

UPDATES

Groomers were out last night grooming many of the trails in & around Eagle River. With the cold temps overnight the trails should helped lay a really nice trail with loose SNOW on top. Corners are icy. Best riding with most SNOW is still Northwest & east of town. It’s still Adventure Sledding. All kinds of conditions out there.

Sledding traffic picked up on Saturday. Many riders out all over.

Last week off trail riding on Catfish lake took the life of a snowmobiler. He was no where near the barrels that are placed on Catfish & Eagle by businesses on those lakes. To include the spur to Eagle Waters. This was completely avoidable. Please stay by the markers to be safe. Entire lakes are NOT safe.

ONEIDA COUNTY trails open at noon Tuesday, January 26. No word on FOREST COUNTY.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – January 25, 2021

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: A couple of inches

Date of Report: January 25, 2021

Area Report:

Oneida County Trails will open on Tuesday, January 26th. The couple of inches of fresh powder that was received over the weekend has given the county enough to open the trails. Nothing to sugar coat here….They are rideable, but they are early season conditions (hard to believe being the last week in January). As long as folks fully understand that, we can do the best we can with the conditions.

All of the groomers are out, trying to get everything panned out and set up prior to the opening. Will the trails hold up to a pounding of sleds this weekend, of course not. Can you go out and ride and find a mixed bag of conditions – definitely.

Early season conditions can mean: the forest roads and some fields will be the best. The swamps, and new trails, will be bumpy and have grass showing through.

Let’s be safe, and hope what is in the forecast for this weekend, happens.

Trail Report – : Walworth County, Wisconsin – January 25, 2021

Reporter:Ryan Strand

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 4-8″

Date of Report: January 25, 2021

Area Report:

Trails are open and range from poor to good condition depending on the location. Many of the chisel plowed fields need more snow this is where you will find the poor spots. But there are many fair to good spots mixed in. Take it easy out there as it is still thin and icy in spots. The good spots with plenty of snow cover grew some bumps from the weekend traffic. Anywhere from 2-8″ forecasted for tonight and tomorrow should make things great as long as we get at least 2″ throughout the county. Groomers will be out to smooth things out from the weekend traffic and to work the new snow. It should only get better from here! We will report back as more snow falls tonight/ tomorrow. Enjoy!
