Fond du Lac snowmobile trails finally open… for now

Local snowmobilers rejoice as snowmobile trails in the county have finally opened up Monday, January 15, 2024.

According to the crooked trails snowmobile club, all trails in zones one through five are now open with early season riding conditions existing.

Riders should stay off any lakes and streams unless YOU PERSONALLY can confirm ice conditions are safe. Some trails in the southeastern / southcentral half of zone four have yet to be groomed because of the storm conditions, and some marshes and swamps across the trail system are still freezing-in and may have wet spots.

The group advises to ride with extreme caution as clubs continue to work on the trail system.

Forecasts next week are calling for above normal temperatures with rain possible so it’s unknown how long conditions will allow for the trails to be open.
