Snowmobile Information:

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters snowmobile club was founded in 1968 and is one of the oldest snowmobile clubs in existence today in Wisconsin. Located in the very northwest corner of Vilas county, Manitowish Waters borders the Lake Superior snow-belt country. With average snowfalls of 150 inches and over 25 miles of professionally groomed trails, the area is one of Vilas County’s top winter vacation areas.

The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today. Support the club by attending their special events or contributing to the “trail pigs” at local establishments along the trails. Or show your support by becoming a member!

Enjoy, and please ride responsibly and safely!

BEWARE OF DEER AND OTHER WILDLIFE ON THE TRAIL With the deep snow in the woods you will see many deer trying to move around. Be a good person and give them time to get off of the trail. It is this time of year that is real hard on all the wildlife: cold temps, scarce food sources and poor mobility due to deep snow makes it tough on them.

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 35-45 inches

Date of Report: March 6, 2019

Area Report:

Trail report for March 6, 2019– Trails are very good. It is currently about 20 Deg below zero again. Brrrrr! With this very cold weather at night and the low amount of traffic during the mid-week the trails are staying nice and flat. Thanks to our groomer crew for that! There may be a light snow later this afternoon with highs in the teens. That should make for some good riding. Always use cation and watch out for other riders on the trail. A warm up is expected the next few days with highs in the 20s and 30s. We are expecting a significant snow storm this weekend and could be a very wet snow. We will have to wait to see how much snow we will get. Groomers can be out at any time of the day or night. Please use caution. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

March 6 2019 7:06am – 13 below – High 17

Well another day in the SNOW paradise! Just amazing riding! 13 below today with a high of 17. Cloudy to Sunny today. Temps will be coming up during the day. Next 2 day single digits at night. After that teens to low 20’s. SNOW potential moving in on Saturday night. With the forecast showing 5-8 inches of very wet heavy SNOW. A bit more Sunday morning. Stay tuned.

As for trail conditions. Trails are filled with plenty of SNOW. With the sun out during the day & cold nights there will be some SNOW that gets crusty. But SNOW is very deep. With that in mind off trail riding is never recommended & with this deep SNOW doubly so. Corners are in many sections are piled high with loose SNOW. There is still SNOW on the trail with no blow outs. Icy conditions on some sections of the road trails. All in all it’s really GOOD to VERY GOOD riding out there. If you are riding sure you noticed that Trail 17N is sitting very high up. Same with sections of 10E. Please read the important updates for more info.

Grooming again last night groomed nearly the entire system. The gts.groomertrackingsystem reports the following trails groomed:

10E

Here are other important updates:

There is 1 logging operations going on where there is a need to use parts of the trails. Trail 13N by Deep Lake Rd. Plus utility work on 7 near Sugar Camp on the high line.

The snowbanks at driveway crossing & road crossings are still high. Road crews are still out winging road banks. Expect some blocked road & driveway crossings. Please stop & cross with caution.

Still seeing some signs buried in the deep SNOW.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Lakes are drifted & lots & lots of slush under the SNOW especially on Catfish Lake. Drifting on Eagle Lake is much worse than on Catfish Lake.

The 2 one-way trail areas are 10E from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart. The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area. Please be aware that for now signs will be buried in many locations. PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK A MAP SO YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF THESE TRAILS.
