Your Online Trail and Travel Guide for Snowmobiling the U.S. & Canada

Trail Report: Crivitz, Wisconsin – December 20, 2016

Trail Conditions: Poor
Snow Cover: 5 to 7 inches
Date of Report: December 20, 2016
Area Report:

TRAILS ARE OPEN, but in EARLY SEASON condition.  Groomers went out to pan all the trails and tried to fill in as many ruts and holes as they could.  As a result, the trail has many bare spots and are considered in poor condition.  On the good side of this, the snow did help to fill in and flatten out the trail which we need to do every year before conditions can improve.

This has been a very busy summer and fall, working on permits to improve our trail system.  The Twin Bridge Park area has some huge changes thanks to the Marinette County Parks Department and Wisconsin DNR.  We have been able to take care of a culvert extension along Parkway Road north of County X.  We also, just finished the largest problem area in the park.  The swamp hole coming off the bridge has been rerouted slightly for a much safer trail.  We put in a culvert there allowing our groomers to get through, even early in the season!  Also, north of Twin Bridge Campground, were we had a wetland issue, but thanks to the new landowner, we were able to reroute with few problems to improve that area.  Landowners are such a big part of our trail system.  When you see them, thank them, wave and give them thumbs up!  Remember, use of their property is a privilege, not a right!

The Oconto county area of the trail has had our loyal excavator very busy.  He has bulldozed from Holtz Ranch Road north and over to LaFave Road, then…from Chickadee Road west to Boat Landing 11 Road.  He was even out there on Sunday, trying to stay ahead of the cold weather.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH…

In addition to the new John Deere tractor that we purchased last year, we have now purchased another New Holland tractor for even better trail grooming. 

Do the snow dance!!!
