With the 5-6 inch snowfall we had last Saturday (2/3/18) we now have the best riding conditions of this season. We put on about 200 miles over the weekend and the trails were very good. In places they were a bit rough from the heavy traffic but we won't complain. The best trail we found was LMT4 out of Wabeno, it was a pleasure to ride. The NST between Lakewood and Wabeno also got a bit rough in places and was showing too much gravel in others. Again, a minor issue given the overall trail conditions at this time.

Favorite youngest son had the day off school today so we decided we would spend it snowmobiling. Since the temperature was well below zero this morning we waited until later in the morning to head out. We decided to head out the back side of Wheeler Lake, the trail hadn't been groomed since the last snowfall so it was a bit rough. We headed past Waubee Lodge, turned right and found the trail to be in surprisingly good condition. There was the occasional rock and stick to be found but overall the trail was in much better condition that was expected. We worked our way around to the back side of the McCaslin Brook Golf Course and found those trails to be getting a bit thin with a fair amount of snirt in some areas which is typical for this part of the trail. We then worked our way back toward Lakewood and hit the railroad grade/NST which had a fair amount of gravel on it. We had a quick lunch at the Subway in Lakewood and continued on the NST heading north past Townsend. The trail from Lakewood to Townsend also had a fair amount of gravel showing with some fairly rough spots. A bit north of Townsend we started working our way back toward Wheeler Lake. This portion of the trail system was in pretty good condition given the amount of snow on the ground. In total we rode about 50 miles today. Some areas were pretty rough with some icy corners but overall it was a good ride.

The northern Oconto County trails are open. Can anyone report on conditions?
