Winter weather is fast approaching, and it won’t be long until the snow will be flying. Soon it will be time to get out those shovels, sleds and snowmobiles.

This is a reminder that the area snowmobile trails are open only from Dec. 15 to March 15 when there is at least 4 inches of snow on the ground.

The Blackhawk Snowblazers Snowmobile Club builds, maintains and grooms the Illinois snowmobile trails in the Lee and Ogle county area. In doing this, they provide all snowmobile riders safe and beautiful trails to enjoy.
