RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU) – Some snowmobile trails in the Northwoods will open on Friday.
Oneida County’s snowmobile trail system will open at 8am according to the county’s Forestry, Land and Recreation Department. Vilas County’s trails will also open Friday morning at 8. Lincoln County will open its trails in Zone 1 on Friday at 3pm.
However, trails that cross lakes and rivers shouldn’t be used unless they are marked as open. In many areas the ice is still too thin.
County officials are reminding riders to stay on marked trails. Off-trail riding is considered trespassing and could result in closure or loss of trails and citations and fines.
Snowmobile trails in other counties still need to be groomed, and may not open until early January.
