Juneau, WI – Snowmobile riders across Dodge County have new tools to help plan safer trips this winter as the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office announced two major updates to its official mobile app this week.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the app now includes snowmobile trail maps for all zones as well as a 24-hour Trail Status Hotline that riders can access directly from their phones. The update arrives just as snowmobile season approaches and trail activity begins to increase across southeast Wisconsin.
Officials said the added features are meant to streamline how residents and visitors check conditions before heading out. The trail maps provide zone-by-zone navigation, while the hotline gives continuous updates on openings, closures, and changing surface conditions—key information during early-season freeze–thaw cycles.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that the new tools were created to provide quick, convenient access to accurate trail information while reducing reliance on scattered online sources. Riders can use the upgraded app to view trail layouts, contact the Sheriff’s Office, and monitor real-time alerts in one place.
The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office app is available for free download in both the Apple App Store and Google Play by searching “Dodge Sheriff WI.” A direct link to the app was also provided in the department’s announcement.
With winter recreation ramping up, officials are urging riders to check trail conditions regularly, stay aware of closures, and follow all safety guidelines to prevent early-season crashes and ice-related incidents.
“Stay safe, ride smart, and enjoy the trails,” the Sheriff’s Office said in its release.
