Groomers were out last night grooming many of the trails in & around Eagle River. With the cold temps overnight the groomers have laid down a really nice trail with loose SNOW on top. Corners are icy. Best riding with most SNOW is still Northwest & east of town. It’s still Adventure Sledding. All kinds of conditions out there. Will report on the what we see after this afternoon’s ride tomorrow morning.
REMINDER: Trail 3N aka Manske Swamp has been closed. Due to high water & off rail riding. This 
trail is a cut across between 13N & 17N. It may reopen when it freezes back up.
Off trail riding continues to be a problem throughout Vilas county. What this is doing is jeopardizing trail easements & will cause trail section closures. Please once again stay on marked trails.
Last week off trail riding on Catfish lake took the life of a snowmobiler. He was no where near the barrels that are placed on Catfish & Eagle by businesses on those lakes. To include the spur to Eagle Waters. This was completely avoidable. Please stay by the markers to be safe. Entire lakes are NOT safe.
ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER WHILE VILAS COUNTY TRAILS ARE OPEN, ONEIDA & FOREST ARE NOT. PLEASE DO NOT RIDE IN THOSE AREAS. This includes Three Lakes, Sugar Camp & Newbold which are all in Oneida county. Should this change will do an update.
KEEP THINKING COLD & DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
