THE VILAS COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL SYSTEM INCLUDING ALL STATE FUNDED AND CLUB FUNDED TRAILS WILL RE-OPEN ON SATURDAY, MARCH 14th, 2026, at 8:00 a.m.
The 11 Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance Clubs have certified that the snowmobile trails in Vilas County are safe to re-open. Please thank these clubs for their efforts in preparing the trails to re-open; without these dedicated clubs and our landowners, snowmobiling would not be possible in Vilas County. Please note that some trails may be closed or rerouted due to water issues and some trails may not be groomed. Riders are reminded to slow down and that drinking and snowmobiling do not mix. Alcohol consumption and speed are the leading causes of snowmobile accidents and fatalities. Most riders do not know where public land and private property lines are, and we ask that when out on the trails, assume that all trails are on private property. Off-trail riding is trespassing and could result in closure or loss of trails, and fines for those who violate. We hope you enjoy the 500 plus miles of state funded and club funded trails in Vilas County and thank you for supporting the local economy.
