Loops out of Phelps
- Thread starter mjw66
- Start date
Sky is the limit for you, you are centrally located to tons of trails and stops. Really depends how far you are wanting to ride. Grab a trail map and start exploring! I would head W and would not go S towards Eagle River unless the trails are in top condition. You have stops all along the way as you go thru Conover towards Boulder Junction (Club 45, Bauers Dam, Burnt Bridge, Stillwaters, Sayner Pub and mroe). Just riding into Lando and back from Phelps along Lac Vieux Desert (6/6A I believe) is a nice starting ride if you're not sure how far you can go. Have fun.
Congrats on sled purchase ! Depending on conditions or the amount of time you want to spend this loop can be shortened at several locations!
Head west thru Land O and head west towards Boulder Junction, 1st stop Boulder Beer Bar great food. Chile ,soups, pizza, burgers! You can continue south from there into Minocqua. Pit Stop at the Thirsty Whale! East back thru St Germain towards Sugar Camp .Bonnies great pitstop in 3 lakes! Continue east to Three Lakes then run the lakes back north to Phelps. This will keep you out of Eagle River! Several food/fuel stop all the way! All trails are marked and every pit stop is very happy you pulled in!

Another thing to do is join the Phelps Snomo Club....I think the yearly membership is $35
You'll learn a lot from the other people, including going out on rides with them . The club also schedules well planned rides for the group throughout the winter you could tag along on and let them help you learn what's around.

Plenty of loops in any direction. I prefer east since a lot less traffic. As said get a map head out all trails well marked easy peasy to find you way. Lots of good lake riding and unplowed FRs to explore if that’s your cup of tea. Once you get to Alvin / Nelma you should probably ride back the way you came no convenient loops unless you know roads from Rt70 to trail 17. Otherwise you have to go thru 3 lakes or Eagle River and I avoid ER always. You are in a good place to enjoy both WI and MI trails without going thru Lando but you need to know the way so don’t be afraid to explore with a map.

Was there today for a quick little warm up, something cool they made a small outdoor bar which is kinda neat but not today it was a chilly one.
Awesome thanks for your help!
Are they actually more welcoming to snowmobilers than they used to be? Got tired of the old lady yelling at sledders for putting their gear on unapproved surfaces. I understand but there are nicer ways to handle it.

Was just in there yesterday and very nice!
Been there a few times before the winter and during an no old yelling ladies to be found. Can't beat a pretzel the size of a small pizza unless you dont like pretzels
