EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Very Good to Excellent
 Frozen Icy Base – With plenty SNOW
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

Arctic blast looks to be over.  Single digits above zero during the day until Friday when temps will move into the 20’s during the day & single digits above zero at night from this Friday through next Friday.  Great time to ride.

A schiff of SNOW overnight.  Under an inch. No other SNOW forecast over the next week.  Let’s hope for some Lake Effect which doesn’t show on long term forecasts.  SNOW on ground is hard from the cold so please slow down.

Full grooming last night with 3 exceptions.  
          Trail 1 from the north to the Eagle Lake Boat Launch & Trail 1 from the south to Eagle Lake entrance by Chanticleer not groomed.

          Club Trail of Trail 10/7 that comes out to Hwy G not groomed
          Trail 13N from the westside of the Wisconsin River Bridge heading north to the Buckatabon area not groomed.
 
Trail Updates

     Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed.  Club is working on a re route.

     Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. Safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail have been installed.  

     Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter.  If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. 

Have been a few changes to the 2025-2026 Sno-Eagles map.  Right click on photo to enlarge

Time to ride!  See ya on the trails!
