Looking for the perfect late-season snowmobile adventure, make plans to ride in Warroad!

With well-groomed trails, stunning winter landscapes, and a NWA snowmobile rally this weekend, now is the time to hit the trails before!

Snowmobile clubs are still grooming trails, ensuring the best possible riding conditions for visitors. Whether you’re an experienced rider or new to the sport, our trails offer an incredible experience through forests, across frozen lakes, and past historical sites.

Snowmobile Itineraries for the Ultimate Ride

Day 1: Ride Across Lake of the Woods to the Northwest Angle
Start your adventure straight from your hotel and hit the trail. Ride across the frozen expanse of Lake of the Woods, taking in the wide-open beauty of winter. The best part? You can explore the Northwest Angle without needing to cross the border, making for a hassle-free ride.

With an abundance of groomed trails, you’ll feel like a kid in a candy shop! Stop at one of the many lodges or restaurants along the way for a warm meal or a quick snack. Plus, there are warming shelters throughout the area, so you can take a break and stay comfortable during your ride.

Day 2: Explore the Forest Trails South of Warroad
For a change of scenery, head south of Warroad and weave through the towering pines and cedars of Beltrami Island State Forest. This ride offers more than just beautiful views—there are fascinating historical sites along the way, including Penturen Church, Winner Silo, and historic cemeteries.

If you’re in the mood for a good meal after your ride, follow the trails to local favorites like Hawk Tasty Tavern in Roosevelt or Wilderness in Williams, both offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere for snowmobilers.

Plan Your Trip Before the Snow is Gone!

The snow won’t last forever, and now is your chance to experience some of the best late-season snowmobiling in the Midwest. Pack your gear, gather your riding crew, and hit the trails before spring arrives.

This past weekend, anglers from near and far gathered on the frozen waters of Lake of the Woods for the annual Springsteel Resort & Warroad Chamber of Commerce Fishing Derby. Held every year on the third Saturday in February, this much-anticipated event brought together fishing enthusiasts of all skill levels to compete for over $30,000 in prizes—and the excitement did not disappoint!

With tickets priced at just $20 per person, the derby offered not only a thrilling day of fishing but also a chance to win big. Participants braved the crisp winter air, drilling holes and setting lines in hopes of reeling in the biggest catch of the day.

And the Winners Are…

A huge thank you to Springsteel Resort, Warroad Chamber of Commerce, and all the volunteers and sponsors who made this event possible. We can’t wait to do it all over again next year!
