Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – March 14, 2018

Reporter:Price County Tourism Department

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 0 – 12 inch trail base

Date of Report: March 14, 2018

Area Report:

Price County snowmobile trails still have a good base in many areas; however, there are sections of bare trail and bare road routes throughout the county. You can view detailed trail condition reports on our website at pricecountywi.net. Trails in wooded areas are in good condition, so trailering to a parking area along the trail away from town is the best option. The trails are icy in some areas and especially on corners, approaches to road crossings are becoming thin or bare in most areas, and road routes are bare. Tuesday will be the last day of trail grooming as temps are predicted to warm and there is no significant snow in the forecast. During March, conditions can improve with snow or deteriorate quickly with sun and warm temps. The trails will remain open through March 31, 2018.

Several miles of trail are open for winter ATV and UTV riding including the Flambeau Trail System, Solberg Trail, and Georgetown Trail. The Price County portion of the Pine Line Rail Trail (Prentice to Ogema), Snowmobile Trail 189 (Ogema to Timm’s Hill), and Snowmobile Trails 116, 181 and 118 (Prentice area loop) are also open to winter ATV and UTV riding when the trail is officially open to snowmobile use and the temperature is 28 degrees or colder.

Some Price County trails are on private land. The use of the private land is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. Please stay on marked trails, especially across fields. There have been many complaints from landowners due to snowmobilers not staying on the trail and riding all over their fields. To avoid having these TRAILS CLOSED, PLEASE respect the private land that is open to snowmobiling and stay on marked trails.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – March 14, 2018

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: hard base

Date of Report: March 14, 2018

Area Report:

This is getting to be the last run of the year. Warm weather in the forecast and no new snow over the next few days.

Trails are down to the hard base at this point. There are numerous bare spots where the trails are in the open. If you are willing to cross some of these areas to get “into” the woods there is some riding out there. It will not be good riding, but they are travelable with some bad spots.

Unless there is a drastic change next week, this could be the last weekend to be open.

Date of Report: March 14, 2018

Area Report:

All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in good condition with a 5 to 13 inch base. We have had quite a few days of warmer weather which has taken away from the great base we had at the beginning of last week. The road crossings and sunny spots are slim with a snowy dirt mixture. Always use caution on the trails as volunteers are out grooming daily. Enjoy the trails!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – March 14, 2018

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 8-10 inches

Date of Report: March 14, 2018

Area Report:

Trail report for March 14, 2018 Poor to Fair Condition. With some warm weather and sunshine over the weekend the trails continue to deteriorate. There are bare spots and puddles in some areas. The trails are very icy and down to the base. Out in the woods away from town it does get better. There is not a lot of traffic which helps some. Road routes are getting very bare and icy. The continued warm weather and sunshine will continue to degrade our trails. Sorry I couldn’t give better news. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

The Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance President has contacted all 11 Clubs. The recommendation from these 11 Clubs to the Vilas County Park & Recreation Administrator is to have the trails remain open this weekend. The clubs will again communicate Monday or Tuesday of next week to determine how long we can keep them open. This may be one of your last weekends to ride for the season.

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS
TO REMAIN OPEN THROUGH THE WEEKEND

Well, if you want to take one more ride in Vilas County it will have to be this weekend. The Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance President has contacted all 11 Clubs. The recommendation from these 11 Clubs to the Vilas County Park & Recreation Administrator is to have the trails remain open this weekend with a closing either Monday or Tuesday of next week.

As for right here in Eagle River, Sno-Eagles Trails are POOR to FAIR. Actually very little change over the last few days. In town trails are POOR. The base is hard on some of the “grade” but there is also crusty base. At crossings very little snow & snirty. Many of the road trails for the most part have little or no snow on them.

In woods trails particularly way out east, north & southwest are FAIR with even some areas of GOOD but this is getting far & few between. That would be 6 miles or more out of town. A lot of adventure sledding to get there however. Trailering & dropping off to ride is a good bet. There will be sun most of the rest of the week. Temps on average in the mid-30’s to the low 40’s.

Here are some continuing areas to be aware of:

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. With the log piles and icy grainy conditions in that section it would be good to slow down. Minimal grooming due to the logging operation.

The Northland Pines School Forest logging project has expanded to Trail 17N. It begins on the east side of Hwy 45N. From town that would be heading north and when you reach the 17N/3N intersection on the west side of the highway & cross Hwy 45N it begins just as you get across the road onto the trail. There are logs & equipment in that area. Much of the remaining snow was plowed. Would recommend not riding this section.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange easy to see reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. At the entrance to Eagle Lake on the south side off of Dollar Lake Rd there are some soft spots. Trail Boss is keeping an eye on it. Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open. Please do not trespass on private land.

If you are coming into the area the best riding will be along the far north edge of the County heading east & west. Recommend calling contacts up there or checking trails reports for those areas.
