From the Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance and the Vilas County Department of Parks & Recreation: Due to unseasonable weather conditions, the Vilas County Snowmobile Trail System has deteriorated to poor and dangerous conditions. All grooming operations have been halted, and we are asking riders to refrain from using the trails until we receive more snow.
For your safety and to preserve your equipment and protect our landowners’ property, please do not use the trails until we have enough snow to resume regular grooming and trail maintenance.
For more information, contact the Vilas County Department of Parks & Recreation at (715) 479-5160.

The snowmobile trail indicated on the map by the green line, from Catfish Lake to Lumpy’s Sports Bar, has been removed and is no longer usable. Please avoid this area. Use of this or any unmarked area is off-trail riding and is considered trespassing. Ride safely!
Heads up! The green line on the snowmobile trail map, which is between Tin 288 and 287 in St. Germain, is closed. Please stay off this part of the trail system and please stay off of STH 70.
