Snowmobile trail near Wild Eagle Lodge

I hope everyone had a happy holiday and that Santa left a good present under your tree. As I look out the window here at the resort it is snowing again. We are supposed to see a lot of the white stuff in the upcoming days here in Eagle River. We got about 8 inches of snow on the 24^th followed by a day of winter mix which changed back to snow. I went out riding on the 25^th and the trails were in good condition, the little rain we got packed the snow down for a good base and the few snow flurries we have received since then are keeping them in good condition. Cooler temps at night are freezing the base, but the lake trails are still closed. The groomers are out every night keeping the snowmobile trails in shape for the holiday rush. Hope to see you out there!

Julie and Derek out on the Wild Eagle Snowshoe Trail

Yesterday afternoon Julie, Derek, and I went out and made the Wild Eagle Snowshoe Trail. The trail follows the shoreline along the resort grounds and then loops through some of the wooded area by Lynx Lake. It is a nice easy trail to start out on if you have not used snowshoes before, and at a length of just over ¾ a mile it takes about 30 minutes to walk the whole thing. The trail follows some deer paths around the resort so there is a great opportunity to see some wildlife as well. We came across a few spots where our local deer had been bedding down for the night. One truly unique feature of our resort trail is that it has lighting which will allow you to go out and snowshoe under the night sky. Click here for more information on the Wild Eagle Snowshoe Trail or our snowshoe rentals. Have a great weekend everybody.
