Wisconsin Fishing Reports & Outdoor Report for January 25, 2018

[Rick]

Snow landed across several northern counties this past week, allowing more counties to open snowmobile trails and additional properties to groom ski trails. There now are about 20 counties that have snowmobile trails open or partially open across the north on the Wisconsin Department of Tourism's Snow Conditions Report (exit DNR). Snowmobiles have been out in force over the past couple weeks, taking advantage of the snowfall and amazing trail conditions.There should be some excellent snowshoeing this weekend in areas like the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest and in Iron County. Cross-country ski conditions range from fair to excellent across the north. Southern Wisconsin received some snow this week, but not enough in most areas to groom ski trails. The Kettle Moraine southern unit groomed some trails, but there were many wet areas at the bottom of hills. Cross-country ski conditions were very good at Pattison State Park after the area received about 10 inches of snow this week.Photo credit: DNRMany may also be getting ready for a spot of winter camping, which several parks and county forests offer in abundance.
