Iron River ATV trails


Recommended Posts

A group of us are thinking of doing a ride in the Iron River area and was wondering how it is for ATVing there. We got maps and it looks like there are alot of trails. Will the trails be open May 19-20 or do they keep them close like MN when it gets too wet in the begining of the year. Anyone have experience staying at the Deer Trail Lodge? Looking at possibly staying there for a night. Thanks

I have heard that most of the trails will open by the end of the month (April 30th). That could change if continues to be dry. I have been to Deer Trail Lodge and Ken Greenwood has a pretty nice operation. Plenty of area trails and the cabins are nice.

Hi Neiko!

I have land up there and have also stayed at Deer Trail before I got a cabin. This was under the old owners but the new ones are nice and the cabins are alright for you. Right on a lake(Delta) and lots of others in the area. Lots of trails and they are riding on some already. Not sure of an official opener but it is dry up there now and in need of rain. All the snow left a couple of weeks ago. There are other places to stay up in that area too if you cannot get into Deer Trail. Try Flying Eagle, The Spot, The Hermitage. All right in close to the area and access to trails. It is a very nice time to be up there. Fishing is good too and there are trout to be had and the opener is the 6th of May for everything else. Smelt are running now!

Thanks guys. Do you know if you can ride from Deer Trail Lodge? If not is there a resort around there that you can? It would be nice not to have trailer them to pakring lot.

Any reports on how the trails are? Did they get any snow around this area yesterday? Will the trails be open for next weekend still? I hope so since we have 10 people going there with reservations.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
