Snowmobiles Are NOT allowed Inside 70 West Park (Minocqua Sports Complex)
Today, Mark Pertile – Director of Public Works sent a message to Police Chief Jaeger letting him know that snowmobiles are riding inside 70 west park and causing damage. He asked that if anyone is seen riding snowmobiles within the park property to please enforce appropriately.
As a reminder, snowmobile and trailer parking is allowed in lot Q only, with direct access to the trail that runs along Camp Pinemere Road. This is when trails are officially open.
The snowmobile clubs have been notified that they are having issues.
Please pass the word along!!

Trail Brushing Thank You Note
We want to recognize and thank the following club members who took the time on Tuesday, 1/12 to brush trail 5 from tin 513 to Ruth Rd. They also signed the culvert at the beaver dam. They had 4 pickup trucks, 3 with trailers to transport 4 ATV’s and a UTV, chainsaws, brush cutters and hand cutters . They cut all the trees that were growing in and along the sides of the trail. Gordon Murray (Area 6 Willow Region Leader) is very pleased with what was accomplished and said he couldn’t have asked for a better crew!
