Snowmobiling - Wisconsin Department of Tourism

Snowmobiling
With more than 25,000 miles
of pristine snowmobile trails,
it’s no surprise the snowmobile
is an important part
of Wisconsin’s history. In
fact, the first sled was
invented in 1924 by Carl
Eliason in Sayner, and it now
resides at the Vilas County
Historical Museum. There’s
even a Snowmobile Hall of
Fame located in St. Germain.
In other parts of the world a
foot of snow dumped
overnight, ice-covered
highways and 40 below wind
chill are sound reasons to
pull down the shades, crank
up the heat, and turn on the
television. But to folks in
Wisconsin, snow is a
precious natural resource
because it means one thing:
snowmobiling.
So where should you plan to
head this winter? Here’s a
sample of a few of our
favorite ideas. We invite you
to check them out, then visit
travelwisconsin.com for the
latest snow conditions and
even more winter fun!
IN WISCONSIN

NORTHERN
WISCONSIN
Eagle River & Minocqua
Eagle River, officially registered as
“The Snowmobile Capital of the
World” in 1964, has five snowmobile
clubs that groom 600 miles of trails
daily. These trails weave through
Vilas and Oneida counties, the Nicolet
National Forest and around
2,400 lakes. Visit the city’s annual
Ice Castle creation, an icy architectural
wonder that has changed in
design every year since it was first
built in 1927. It’s built by a team of
volunteers headed by area firefighters
who put in more than 700 man
hours to cut nearly 3,000 ice blocks
from a local lake and haul them into
place. Trail #13 passes right by it.
One of the favorite trails in the
Minocqua area is the Bearskin State
Trail that stretches 18 miles through
the forests of Oneida County. Traffic
is two-way with several rest spots
along the way. This area also has
more than 1,600 miles of trails that
traverse 1,300 glacial lakes and
233,000 acres of public forestland.

winter. (715/479-4955)

Family Favorites
in Northwest Wisconsin
When kids imagine a perfect winter
day, they may think of being
out on dad’s Arctic Cat, on a slick
trail crossing Big McKenzie Lake
near Spooner, building speed
while they lean into dad’s back.
With an expanse of snow flying
past and a break for cheese curds,
soda and fries at the cozy Mc Kenzie
Landing, what could be better.
Families might head to Port Wing
along Lake Superior where uncrowded
trails offer impressive
views. Time it right and witness
the ice pyramids formed by the
winds and waves during the ice
break-up. Another special treat
can be found on Trail 63, traveling
from Hayward north through
Cable, Drummond, Grandview and
Mason. Riders cross three refurbished
railroad trestles, the 200
foot Namekagon River Bridge, 585

Wisconsin’s Self-Funded Trail System
By legislative action, the State of Wisconsin has adopted a self-funded
snowmobile trail system in which snowmobilers themselves pay for the
vast network of trails that criss-cross the state. Funds are generated by
snowmobile registration and state gas taxes on that portion of the fuel
used by snowmobilers. The fund is administered by the Department of
Natural Resources and by cooperating counties that have adopted the
program. Counties contract with individuals or organizations, usually
local snowmobile clubs, to develop and maintain trails.
