WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — Snowmobilers will have some more trail options on Friday.
Marathon County Motorized Recreation Coordinator Mitchell Fox has announced that trails in Zone 1 of the county are now open only to snowmobiles. No other zones will have open trails at this time.
Designated ATV trails in Zone 1 will be opening in a week and a half on Monday, January 20th, 2020. The Parks Department reminds ATVers that they are not allowed on any trail when air temperatures are above 28 degrees Fahrenheit.
Trail conditions will vary in Zone 1. Riders are cautioned to be careful as some plowed fields and wind-swept areas are rough because there is very little snow cover. Riders are also reminded that 55 mph is the night time speed limit for snowmobiles throughout Wisconsin.
Up to date trail information can be found at the Marathon County Parks Facebook page and their website, co.marathon.wi.us/parks.asp.
