Rice Creek Snowmobile Trail Association

It sounds like we’re about to get the kind of snowstorm we all dream of. Unfortunately, it’s happening in mid-March.

We suspect the swamps will be wet and there may be trees down after the wind we had. We won’t be grooming due to the soft ground.

If you do choose to ride, you are riding at your own risk, be aware of trail conditions, and respect our landowners.

Wow, Saturday was fun!

A huge thank you to EJ's Bar & Bottle Shop for agreeing to host our show on short notice. They were a fantastic host!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A heartfelt thanks to our club volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the day run smoothly.❤️

Shoutout to Eric from the Sno Ghosts for MCing. 🎤

Last, but not least, thanks to everyone who brought out a sled or six. We know conditions weren’t ideal, and we appreciate the effort.

Every registration, raffle ticket, and hot dog purchased supports local snowmobiling.

We hope everyone had fun, we sure did!😊

📢 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

As much as we loved having our vintage show at the Vets Camp, the forecast puts us in the same situation as last year.

We don’t want to cancel again, so we’re moving the show to EJ's Bar & Bottle Shop in East Bethel.

They have plenty of space for the show and trailer parking. We’ll post additional details and updates between now and Friday, for now, please help us spread the word.

Thank you!

Twelve of us got out for a club ride today! Thanks to Mille Lacs Drift Skippers Snowmobile/ATV Club and Tamarack Sno-Flyers for the surprisingly good trails.

We really don’t enjoy pointing fingers and yelling “stay off my lawn” but sometimes we don’t have much choice.

Please respect the trail, we come closer and closer to losing the privilege with each rider who thinks they own all snow-covered ground.

And if you have a teen or young adult rider, do your best to make sure they’re following the rules.

If you’re not sure what the rules are, check with the city you live/ride in. Some allow riding on roads and some don’t.

If you’re following this page, you probably aren’t one of the people riding through people’s yards, parks, and the golf course. Those folks are giving the rest of us a bad look and putting the sport at risk.

This is an example of what the trail looks like before we clear it.

Moving massive trees in below zero temps isn’t ideal or our favorite way to spend a weekend. It is necessary though.

The old saying of more hands making lighter work holds true. If you ride these trails, consider putting in some time to help.

Somehow, even on a day like this we ended the day smiling.

TRAIL UPDATE:

We went out through the park today. We didn’t make it far before encountering a large downed tree, we cleared that and made some progress before sinking a Gator.

We’re anxious to start grooming and we know you’re anxious to ride, but it’s still very wet.

If you ride, please use caution. We’re happy to have you packing the trail but you may discover downed trees and wet areas.

We’ve got a Gator to fix and some feet to warm up. We’ve had better days, but we’ll keep at it.

From our neighbors to the NE.

A little patience would be much appreciated across the system.
