RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU-WXPR) –As snow slowly accumulates, snowmobile trails throughout the Northwoods are beginning to open.
The trails in Iron County, WI opened on Christmas morning. Vilas Countyâs trails opened on New Yearâs Day. But the holidays did not bless Oneida Countyâs snowmobile trails in the same way. Without enough snow, trails in Rhinelander, Three Lakes and Minocqua, WI remain closed. But thatâs not stopping some snowmobilers from taking a ride.
Clint Zimbeck is the trail boss for Three Lakes Trails. He said heâs put up barrels and âdo not crossâ police tape to stop riders from illegally entering trails on private property. But itâs not working. âThey tore the ribbon down, and moved the barrels and went around them anyway,â he said. Zimbeck said private landowners allow trails to run through their property.

But that’s not stopping some snowmobilers from taking a ride.
Clint Zimbeck is the trail boss for Three Lakes Trails.
He said he’s put up barrels and ‘do not cross’ police tape to stop riders from illegally entering trails on private property.
But it’s not working.
“They tore the ribbon down, and moved the barrels and went around them anyway,” he said.
Zimbeck said private landowners allow trails to run through their property.
If people continue to ignore the warnings, those property owners could change their minds and close down their portions of the trail.
“We lose the trail, now what do you do?” Zimbeck asked. “There’s been cases where trails have been totally shut down. And if we lose these trails, it’s detrimental at times.”
