Winter Snowmobile and All-Season Trails (As of 2/14/2020)

Currently, ALL of Douglas County trails are open and are reporting great to excellent condition. 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 – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 14, 2020

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 18-24 inches

Date of Report: February 14, 2020

Area Report:

Trail report for February 14, 2020 – Trails are good. Happy Valentine’s Day! This morning the temp in Boulder Junction was 25 below zero. Brrrr! Bitter Cold. Riding the trails at these temps can be very dangerous. Cold weather injuries and mechanical failures can occur very quickly. Use extreme caution! We were out grooming last night and will be out grooming throughout the weekend. With the lack of snow on the trail many spots and corners can be icy. No snow is expected until maybe Monday. Please join us at our breakfast fundraiser held at the Boulder Beer Bar this Sunday February 16, 2020 from 8:30 to 11:00. All proceeds go to trail maintenance so if you like great trails for snowmobiling, support this event! Stay on marked trails! Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

Another weekend is sneaking upon us! And with it being a holiday weekend it will be a fun and exciting one with an extra day of riding for many! The groomers have been out running all week and we are in a cold snap today so those trails are froze down nice and flat! The Tuscobia, Flambeau, LCO/Grindstone, Round Lake, Seeley Hills, Moose Lake just to name a few GREAT groomed riding areas! No new substantial snow but a nice little bit on top to freshen things up and add to the lakes to help keep sleds cool. The lakes do have some rough and slick spots so we advise sticking to the trail. Many rough areas on the lake trails have been worked down due to traffic but again, please ride with caution. Speaking of lakes there is a note about the Chippewa Flowage, they have dropped the level of the lake several feet so there will be stumps and sand bars that you normally wouldn’t see so again, really stick to the marked trail unless going to your lodging or favorite spots just keep your eyes peeled!

The temps will be great for riding this weekend so grab your gear and get out there!

Yesterday was the return trip to Eagle River from Florence county for the Sno-Eagles Weekday Away. Left the Doll House Bed & Breakfast shortly after 9:30am with temps just a bit below zero. After riding through the City trails in Florence we picked up trail F2 that took us to trail 6. Trail 6 was freshly groomed & EXCELLENT all the way to the trail intersection of 6 & trail that heads south to Long Lake. There we said goodbye to 2 of the riders as they head south & home. Heading east on 6 from the intersection all the way to the connect with the Three Lakes/Brule River trails was GOOD. The Three Lakes/Brule River trail 6 was also freshly groomed & EXCELLENT all the way to the trail 10 intersection with the Eagle River trails. 10 section of the Eagle River trail were EXCELLENT to the Hwy 70 crossing off of South Military Rd. One more rider dropped off to head home on Military road. From there the trails were GOOD to VERY GOOD with some small chop. We dropped off at our house with the rest of riders heading into Eagle River.

A special Thank You to Iron Man Ron Engels for being our leader!

Now as for Eagle River. It’s President’s Weekend & time to ride!

KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!! P.S. Here’s to no evil sun!
