KEWAUNEE COUNTY, WI – Due to the lack of fresh snow and melt, all snowmobile trails in Kewaunee County will close on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 9AM.

The trails had opened on Monday, January 10, 2022 in sections 1 (Red River area) and 2 (Algoma area). This was a partial opening as conditions were not satisfactory for sections 3 (Luxemburg area) and 4 (Kewaunee area) to open as well, so both had remained closed.

Kewaunee County has six snowmobile clubs that maintain the County’s nearly 205 miles of trails as well as give condition updates to the Promotions & Recreation Department.

“We had a short run, but we can tell that the trails were definitely used this week. We would like to stay open longer, unfortunately our snowmobile clubs know it’s not possible. The snow base has deteriorated to a point that the trails are no longer usable,” said Dave Myers, Director of Kewaunee County Promotions & Recreation. “We will be sure to share when the snowmobile trails open again, we’re just waiting on more snow.”

The Kewaunee County Promotions & Recreation Department will continue to update trail conditions on its 24/7 hotline, (920) 388-7199 if conditions change.
