Every year, Mother Nature dictates when conditions are right to start grooming the hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails across and around Lake of the Woods. Mother Nature has done her part and so have the area snowmobile clubs. Between checking ice conditions, cutting through fallen trees, fixing bridges, adding or replacing signage along the trail, marking the trail and constant grooming, the good folks who are members of the club have been busy. The great news is snowmobile trails on land and across the ice on Lake of the Woods are open! There are two active snowmobile clubs around the lake. The Lake of the Woods Drifters and the NW Angle Edge Riders. Both do a great job of maintaining and grooming trails and keep conditions up to date on their Facebook pages.
