Trail Update:
A memo was sent out on March 7th from the Oneida County Snowmobile Council regarding the Oneida County Snowmobile Trail System. It stated the council unanimously voted to NOT open the Oneida County state funded and club funded trails for the remainder of the 2024 snowmobile season even if we were to get any significant snowfall. As disappointing as this season has been, we have been taking advantage of the weather and getting that extra brushing done. Pictured here is Dan Hoover operating the tractor, Gary Waters, and Mike Wick.
Volunteers Needed:
If you would like to help with trail brushing, Dan Hoover is taking people out every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m. during March. If you are able to help, please contact Dan, 715-966-4008. Let's get our trails in the best shape possible for the 2024-25 riding season!
PONTOON PALOOZA:
The Pontoon Palooza is scheduled and we are looking forward to warmer temps and a fun day! The event is being held July 20, 2024 at B's Landing. If you would like to help with raffle ticket sales, site planning, and/or set-up/take down, please email us at info@northwoodsriders.org Also, today would be a great day to start planning your theme for your boat and costumes! We would love to see more people get involved in this fun event!
