The Gandy Gandy Dancer is straight and flat and you can use that to cover a lot of ground if you want. A loop I have liked in the past from Siren is 120 West from the airport to 45 North up to Danbury. The Fishbowl just North of Danbury is a great pitstop for food and a beverage. There are a bunch of trails East of Danbury and depending on the grooming are pretty decent. Some of course are fairly curvy. Lots of options. The snow should be incredible!

Yes gandy can get you places real quick and no speed limit like over here in MN. St croix river is not safe so don’t cross them unless you have a pretty big pair. There is a great trail along the river just south of grantsburg that is through a state forest. Edit: that is corridor 45 and a great trail to take!! Do watch for atvs around Danbury, but Webb lake area has lots of great trails. Pretty much can’t go wrong with any area right now.

Thanks guys! I've been on the gandy dance closer to Superior years ago, but not in Burnett county. Looked like quite the selection of trails around Webb Lake. Lots of lakes. I assume majority of them should be frozen?
We have the AWSC winter's meeting this weekend. Should be a good weekend!

I was up there riding right after Christmas and the ice was plenty thick on the lakes but a some of slush in spots. Trails were only open South of Hwy 70 at that time and the lakes were ridable but not staked yet. I'm thinking they may be mostly staked by now. Let us know how your trip goes. I will be riding up there the 2nd and 3rd weekends of January.

It has been snowing solid since yesterday morning. I would guess 10+" and close to 2 feet in most places. Banks are shoulder high, riding doesn't get any better.

The Lodge At Crooked Lake in Siren is in a great location right off the Gandy Dancy trail as an option.
That's where I'm staying. Looks like a nice place and location.

Thank you!!
I took your advice & took this route today. Thanks! Great scenery. Even stopped at Fish Bowl. Trail 120 has too many low hanging branches to get the groomer through. I had to turn the clickers up for that stretch. Lot of snow though!
