WISCONSIN (NBC 26) — Due to a forecast of warmer weather on the way, Calumet County and Kewaunee County are closing their snowmobile trails Monday at 6 a.m.

The Calumet Co. Parks Department said the future use of public and private snowmoblie trails in the area depends largely upon the willingness of property owners to permit snowmobiling on their lands.

“We had a decent five day run and we would like to stay open longer, unfortunately our snowmobile clubs know that the predicted warmer weather will deteriorate our snow base making the trails unusable,” said Dave Myers, Director of Kewaunee County Promotions & Recreation. “We are hoping to reopen the snowmobile trails again this season if the weather cooperates.”

The two counties have a 24-hour information line for up-to-date reports on trail conditions. Riders in Calumet Co. can call (920) 849-1494 and riders in Kewaunee Co. can call (920) 388-7199.
