Date of Report: February 26, 2020

Area Report:

A plesent 16 degrees this morning. The Phelps trails were groomed last night and with the cool temps should have set up nicely. Cooler than normal temperatures are predicted the next few days with a warm up coming this weekend. This is a great time to ride. Please slow down coming into the corners. They are very icy. Trails are hard and seem to ride fast. Use your head and remember that you are not the only one on the trails. Have a safe and enjoyable ride.

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Still winter

Date of Report: February 25, 2020

Area Report:

The trails are holding up pretty well. Tough going on some of the road routes and accessing gas stations but as a whole I am pleasantly surprised. Will be out riding with Dan Wagner and crew the next couple of days. A couple of inches of fresh snow would definitely be welcomed for lubrication and roads.

Winter Snowmobile and All-Season Trails (As of 2/25/2020)

Currently, ALL of Douglas County trails are open. Trails are in good condition, icy in some areas with the recent warmer temperatures and subsequent cool down. Please note, deer have been reported on trails, so please keep an eye out while traveling.

PLEASE check the trail you intend to use is open and do not trespass on private property. It is critical that we respect the landowners who allow us to utilize their property. It just takes one owner to deny the use of their land for a trail to be permanently shut down, so please be courteous and wait for the trails to officially open.

The following all-season trails are currently open to ATV, UTV, and Snowmobiles:

Trail Report – : Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – February 25, 2020

Reporter:Manitowish Waters Chamber

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 18-24 Inches

Date of Report: February 25, 2020

Area Report:

Warm weather over the weekend softened the trails. Road crossings are getting bare. However there is still some good riding to be had. I rode up the grade Monday and out trail 10 to the “Sunken Horse” out on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. Mercer and Manitowish Waters groomers had both been out late Sunday and early Monday morning. Trails were flat and in good condition. The grade up to Mercer was snow covered. Be careful going into corners as they are getting icy. Trail sections that share plowed roads took a hit. It’s a bit cooler today and a little overcast. A little snow would help freshen things up, but you can still get some miles on. It’s a great time of year to ride, less traffic, more daylight and some great scenery! Overall, I would call our trails fair to good in the woods.

USE CAUTION ON THE LAKES AND FLOWAGES.

We have received multiple reports of “off trail riding”.

LISTEN — it’s pretty simple. Stay. On. The. Marked. Trail.

If you come upon a groomer WAIT for the groomer driver to come to a complete stop and signal for you to continue.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 25, 2020

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 9-16 inches of snow

Date of Report: February 25, 2020

Area Report:

Despite the warmer weekend, our trails are still VERY GOOD, especially in the woods or trails that are sheltered. Trails along the roadway or open to the sun may have a few bare spots but will most likely be thin…you’re usually on these trails as an access to the better trails in the woods, so it should not impact your riding too much. The lake trails may have some icy corners and spots, be sure to stay on the marked trails. A more detailed report will be out later this week.
