Snowmobiling at Camp Mishike
OFF ROAD RIDING IS PROHIBITED! Please make sure to always stay on the road or driveways. If riding other than on the roads, you will encounter many hazards, such as stumps, boulders, septic vents, well heads, horseshoe pits and wood piles. Riding on the road is all that is permitted. Sleds riding throughout camp or onto snowbanks will be asked to leave.
ACCESS TO TRAIL To access the main snowmobile trail you will want to ride down East Harris Lake Road to Old W. You will then take Old W to the east (Left Turn). This will take you to HWY W near the RETREAT BAR where you will jump onto the many trails of VILAS COUNTY and IRON COUNTY. Please do not ride in the ditches or on snowbanks along the roads. Please try to avoid traveling past the Horse Farm whenever possible. In your travels on these roads, you might encounter other snowmobile tracks in these restricted areas, however that does not permit you to follow them. Please keep your snowmobiles single file on the designated road. If there’s not enough snow to ride the roads to access the trails, we suggest you trailer to an appropriate place to unload your sleds.
The only access to Harris Lake with snowmobiles is at the boat landing located on East Harris Lake Rd. As a reminder, there is no such thing as safe ice. Ride at your own risk.
Any snowmobile with an illegal exhaust system (decibel readings exceeding 82 – state law) are not allowed on the property. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please be respectful to our other guests that are renting and wanting to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Village Point Lane (AKA Camp Mishike Shores Dr.) is used by many other homeowners and the public. The posted speed limit is 10 mph. The speed limit must be adhered to at all times when using any motorized vehicle. Speeding, rough housing, hotdogging on Village Point Lane and the Camp Mishike Shores Condo Association Property will not be tolerated.
If you have a snowmobile, you agree to abide by all WDNR Snowmobile rules as noted in the “Wisconsin Snowmobile Laws” handout provided.
Please review the Town of Winchester snowmobile ordinance 2018-08 you have been provided.
Please review the Town of Winchester ATV/UTV ordinance #2021-02 you have been provided. East Harris Lake Rd north of the boat launch turns into Harris Creek Lane, at that point the road is private and is posted to indicate that ATV/UTV’s are not permitted.
