Door County has issued an updated snowmobile trail report, with most trail zones now closed as winter conditions continue to limit safe riding opportunities. The update was posted December 31, 2025, through the Door County Alert Center.
According to the latest report, the North Zone is closed. This includes trails running from Maple Tree Road and Kangaroo Beach Road between Egg Harbor and Baileys Harbor north to the Gills Rock area. Officials say inadequate snow cover and unfavorable conditions have made the trails unsafe for use.
The Central Zone is also closed. Trails in this area extend from County Road EE between Egg Harbor and Baileys Harbor south to Gordon Road on the northern edge of Sturgeon Bay. As with the northern section, conditions do not currently meet minimum safety standards.
The Southwest Zone, which includes all trails west of County Road M and west of the southern half of the Ahnapee State Trail to the Door County line, is likewise closed.
The only area currently open is the Southeast Zone, which runs from Gordon Road South over the Bayview Bridge and includes Potawatomi State Park and the Ahnapee State Trail to the southern Door County line at County Road X. However, officials caution that conditions in this zone are rated poor, and riders should use extreme care.
County officials remind snowmobilers to respect all trail closures on both public and private property. Riding on closed trails can result in citations and fines. Riders are encouraged to check trail updates frequently, as conditions may change with future weather.
