Wild Eagle Lodge

The Snowmobile Derby is just around the corner and is hosting two different styles of racing; ice-oval and sno-cross.  The Derby is one of the most highlighted events during the winter; spectators and racers come from all over the US and Canada to participate.  The Derby lets you choose if you want to watch the race side by side with other race fans or you can enjoy the hot seats and private suites indoors.  Make sure you mark your calendars for January 7^th-January 16^th so you can see for yourself why spectators return year after year. 

Another great thing you can do when you’re not attending the races is hitting the trails for yourself.  The trails are beautifully groomed in the Northwoods and we have three great recommended rides to tell you about!  Our first recommendation is known as the Gangster Run which will bring you to Boulder Junction.  On this ride make sure to make a pit stop at The Little Bohemia Lodge for lunch.  This was also the site where John Dillinger and his gang had the epic shoot out with the F.B.I.  The second trip is known as the Hall of Fame Run.  This ride will take you to the Snowmobile Hall of Fame and it is surely something you don’t want to miss out on.  The last trail ride that we recommend is the Lunch Run which takes you North of Land O’ Lakes and you can enjoy a great lunch at the Black Oak Inn. 

If you have any questions please give us a call here at the Wild Eagle Lodge and we would be happy to assist you.

Great trail conditions in the Eagle River Area

It’s Thursday and the trails in Eagle River are in GOOD to EXCELLENT condition. New Snow over the last few days and the return to COLD temperatures have improved the trails even more.

Full grooming schedule continued last night. Hard frozen snow base with loose snow on top. The hard snow base is icy in many areas so slow down not only in the corners, but everywhere. Even if you have picks on your track. Remember to stay on your side of the trail.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trail in Sno-Eagles Country are safe by the orange reflective barrels. Snow covered and very few rough stops if any.

Log hauling continues on Trail 10/13 west of the snowmobile bridge. Virgil & Kevin from Iowa rode out in that area & told me that they would rate it as FAIR. That’s a great improvement.

Pond Hockey Championships starts Friday on Dollar Lake by the Chanticleer. You can ride there by sled using Trail 10E to Trail 1 which runs alongside of Dollar Lake Rd.

THINK SNOW & COLD!

See ya on the trails!

Well it was a cold weekend here in Eagle River which helped the base on the trails. What we have heard is that the trails range from poor in town all the way to fair and good once you get out of town. The groomers have been out every night keeping them in shape, but we could use a few inches of snow. The forecast says we are supposed to see some snow later tonight and then a 40% chance of snow ALL DAY TOMORROW!!! Yes, I capitalized it because I am excited. A few inches of fresh snow with the base we have and these trails will be in great shape in no time. We are also supposed to see snow starting again Friday through the weekend with temperatures back into the normal range of highs in the 20’s and lows in the teens to single digits. As a snowmobiler I could not think of a better forecast, and with the snow in the forecast I am really looking forward to my weekly ride on Wednesday, I’ll let you know firsthand how the trails are doing Thursday. I’ll try to stop along the way to get a few more pictures so you can see what the trails are like.

Follow these links to see the full list of winners for both the Ice Oval events as well as the Sno-Cross events (Oval Races | Sno-Cross Races).
