Snowmobile trails in Brown, Kewaunee counties to open Friday; expect varying conditions

(WTAQ-WLUK) — An influx of early February snow is welcome news for snowmobilers in parts of Northeast Wisconsin.

All snowmobile trails in Kewaunee County will open at 6 a.m. Friday. Trails are reported to be in fair to good condition, with more snow on the way as winter storms roll in Friday night.

Brown County also announced partial trail openings. Beginning at 6 a.m. Friday, Zone 1 (trails east of I-43 and north of Highway 54) and Zone 2 (trails east of I-43 and south of Highway 54) will be ready to ride.

Officials say riders should expect “windblown areas and overall poor conditions” on Brown County trails.

Snowmobilers are asked to use caution as groomers may be on the trails and open fields may lack snow cover. Riders are urged to watch out for water holes, slush, icy patches, drifting snow and possible thin ice on waterways and swamps.

Snowmobilers are asked to stay on marked trails and respect adjoining property owners.

Kewaunee County snowmobile trails are for snowmobiles only; no ATVs or UTVs are allowed.

Riders in Kewaunee County are encouraged to check the county’s 24-hour information line before heading out, especially if you have any doubts about current trail status and conditions. That number is (920) 388-7199.
