It may only be open for a few hours, but you can dust off your snowmobile in at least one spot in Door County. Thanks to the work of Door County’s snowmobile clubs, the southeast zone opened at 8 a.m. for the first time this winter.

According to the county, trails run from Gordon Road south over the Bayview Bridge and include Potawatomi State Park and the Ahnapee State Trail to the southern Door County line at County Road X. Conditions are listed as poor.

Three other zones in Door County and all trails in Kewaunee County remain closed, though work is being done to put the trails on better footing if the area receives another round of significant snow. Mother Nature seems to be playing against the clubs this week, with temperatures above freezing on Tuesday and Saturday and chances of rain also in the forecast.

Riders are advised to respect private and public property and reminded that riding on closed trails could result in a citation and a fine.
