The entire Eagle River region caters to snowmobilers, and it’s a very popular winter vacation spot.


Even though the weather can be nasty, the scenery is impressive, and these trails take you through the heart of it all. There are around 600 miles of groomed trails here regularly maintained by several active snowmobile clubs. One of the reasons is that it gets a solid amount of snow for the midwestern US and the surrounding terrain is stunning and fun to explore. Regardless of it’s the best spot in the world for riding, it’s certainly up there with the best of them. There are claims that this is the “ Snowmobile Capital of the World,” and while I’ll agree that it’s fantastic, I don’t know who’s in charge of that statement. Eagle RiverĮagle River is more of a region in Wisconsin than a specific trail, but it’s another top spot to snowmobile in the state. The town of Minocqua has a lot of decent accommodations and restaurants if you want to base camp here for a multi-day trip. There is also a section of the trail between Lake Nokomis Road and Country Highway K dedicated to snowmobiles only, so you won’t have to worry about dodging skiers and snowshoers. The main trail isn’t groomed but sees enough action to stay in pretty good shape most of the time. The trail is open all year round, but the winter months turn it into a snowmobiler’s playground. The sheer scope of this network is extensive, and that’s why Bearskin tops the list. But the Minocqua region where the State Park is located is in the middle of a vast network of trails you can access from this one highlight. The Bearskin State Trail is part of the Wisconsin State Park trail system and provides access to around 1,600 miles of other trails.īearskin State trail is itself only 21.5 miles. At the top of this list is one of the most expansive trail networks I’ve had the chance to ride on.
