Barron County, WI – Snowmobile riders across Barron County will be able to hit the trails again starting Tuesday morning as all county snowmobile routes officially reopen.
According to the Barron County Sheriff’s Department, all designated snowmobile trails across the county will reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday, January 20, following recent weather conditions that improved trail quality. Officials are reminding riders to bundle up, ride responsibly, and remain on clearly marked trails at all times.
The reopening impacts snowmobile users throughout Barron County, including popular routes that connect local communities and recreational areas across northwest Wisconsin. The trails play a key role in winter tourism and outdoor recreation, drawing riders from nearby counties and the greater regional area during peak snowmobile season.
Authorities emphasized safety as a top priority, urging riders to adjust speeds based on conditions and visibility. Staying on marked trails is especially important to protect private property and maintain positive relationships with landowners who allow trail access.
The Sheriff’s Department also expressed appreciation for the snowmobile clubs and private property owners who work behind the scenes to groom, maintain, and prepare the trails. Their ongoing cooperation helps ensure safe and enjoyable riding conditions throughout the winter months.
Trail conditions can change quickly due to weather, temperatures, and usage. Riders are encouraged to check local snowmobile club pages or county updates before heading out, especially during periods of warming temperatures or new snowfall.
With trails reopening countywide, officials hope riders enjoy the season responsibly while supporting local businesses that benefit from winter recreation traffic.
