A latticework of groomed trails extends from the eastern edge of Cauldron Falls Reservoir, working their way south and east toward High Falls Reservoir. Along the way, the trails pass through Governor Thompson State Park and Peshtigo River State Forest. This area is serviced by over a dozen trail stops, including bars, convenience stores, restaurants and hotels all friendly to Iron Snowshoe Snowmobilers.
The Crooked Lake Area lies in the southwestern corner of Nicolet National Forest, west of Stephenson. This area covers much less territory than the High Falls Area, but links the Iron Snowshoe trails with other riding ground within the national park. Despite the name, the trails wind around Cedar, Boundary, Dell, Gilkey and Bass Lake as well as Crooked Lake. Because the national parks are visited less, according to Iron Snowshoe's website, there is only one trail stop available in this area.
All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are allowed on most of the northern trails maintained by the Iron Snowshoe Snowmobiling Club, but they are strictly prohibited within Nicolet National Forest and Peshtigo River State Park. The club works hard to maintain both the trails and relations with both private landowners and management of public lands, so riders should be courteous and follow club guidelines and local laws.
