After last week’s winter storms, snowmobile trails in Sheboygan County are ready for recreation. The Northern Kettle Moraine Snowmobile Association of Sheboygan County said that while a few trail sections remain closed due to open water issues, clubs have been out grooming, clearing brush, and that all Sheboygan County trail sections are open.
The organization stressed that barricades should not be bypassed since they’re only placed in cases of safety, and that driving around them or riding off the trail is trespassing and could lead to trail closures.
The Wisconsin DNR is observing this week as Snowmobile Safety Week, and emphasized the importance of responsible riding, which includes abstaining from alcohol when sledding. DNR Off-Highway Vehicle Administrator Lieutenant Jake Holsclaw said that excessive speed and inexperience contribute to snowmobile crashes, but alcohol stands out as a primary cause. Holsclaw said that in the early months of last year there were 16 fatal snowmobile crashes in Wisconsin; 10 of those involving alcohol.
