Emily & Outing trails/ditches


Greg T

Recommended Posts

Our cabin is in Longville, so we drive through Emily & Outing and I'm eyeing up those nice sandy ditch trails. So my question is, is there any particular place to park and unload the quads without anybody getting all bent out of shape? Any help or info is appreciated.

Great snowmobile trails to ride in the summer on ATV's! Park at the Ruth Lake public access. Take the quads north right at the public access. You will be riding a few miles through the woods then come to a minimum maintenacne road which you want to take a left and head west. This road will bring you back to 6 right at the Wigwam Inn just south of Outing. Also if you drive back to 6 from the Ruth Lake access cross there are some nice trials going West from 6. They are snowbird trials so they are marked with maps miliage and bar ads. They can get a little mushy North of Ruth lake so plan ahead if it's wet out! Have fun!

Thanks for the info, from what I can see there are tracks in the ditch almost to Longville. We usually ride the fire roads near Leech, but looking for something new.

there is a trail system up there called the moose river trails, you can get the info and maps from the DNR HSOforum. I rode them once last year, they are very good trails. I believe they are just north of outing.

I stay off the trails posted "snowmobiles only" but these West of Emily are just marked with Snowbirds logo and maps. I have run across other wheelers in the summer that are Snowbird members. The Moose River trials are pretty nice with great parking. Just be sure to bring a map. My party of 6 got lost last year along the highlines and we ended up on a goat farm. It was a little nerve racking because we were running out of gas and we have no choice but to cross the farm and here comes the farmer driving into his driveway at the same time. I thought we were in deep. It turns out that my buddy who is a cop in Dayton SAVED HIS LIFE a few weeks earlier, he was choking in a resturante down there! Needless to say he let us cross.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
