Planning Winter Sled Trip

I'd say north shore also. I live in Silver Bay and help maintain the trails up here. There are ALOT of trails and alot of beautiful scenery in the area. I've told alot of people to stay at Wildhurst Lodge and Campground, and they love it!! Hope this helps and have a fun trip!

Dtro, you and your wife would enjoy the North Shore Trail and all the spurs. Pretty much from Duluth and North to the Canada Border offers some very nice scenery. Depending on the type lodging your looking for or should I say budget, it varies from rustic cabins to the works.

What would help in your planning would be the trail maps the snowmobile clubs put out. In there you'll find of coarse the trails along with gas stations, places to eat and stay. Unfortunately those maps aren't available on-line, at least I've never found them. I can send you one from Reservoir Riders and see what else I might have.

Voyageurs Nat'l Park, Arrowhead Tail, Kabetogama, Ash River, Rainy Lake, Crane Lake, Vermilion River, Pelican Lake, Orr, Buyck, I, Falls....these trails/lakes/rivers ROCK! Scenery in wonderful, trails are awesome, lake riding is great (powder riding in the bays can be memorable!) Lots of land and lakes and plenty of room to roam for families as well as serious sledders. Off-trail sledding too on forest roads and rivers.

Trails groomed 2x per week, lots of loop trials - go out one way, come back another! Connections to Bemidji, Baudette, North Shore and Canada! Lots of nice places to stay, plenty of pit stops, gas stops and friendly folks!

Check out the Ash River-Kabetogama Snowdrifters web site for trail updates and other club news.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • 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.
