About the Mercer Area Sno-Goers
The Mercer Area Sno-Goers is a volunteer snowmobile club located in Iron County, Wisconsin which is widely known to host the best snowmobile trails in the state. Contributing to that statement we receive over 200 inches of yearly snowfall accompanied by lake effect snow and is further more reason Iron County is a premier destination for snowmobile enthusiasts across the United States.
Tree covered trails, waterfalls, and the Turtle Flambeau Flowage are just a few examples of what our trail system has to offer. As remote and deep in the Northwoods you may travel, you’ll never be too far from a one of a kind establishment to meet your needs.
Being established in 1967 makes it one of the first organized clubs at its time. We have over 150 miles of maintained and groomed trails in the southern part of Iron County. Our club membership exceeds 900 members with 100 commercial sponsorships. We were awarded Club of the Year by the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) in 2022, American Council of Snowmobile Clubs (ACSA), and International Club of the year (ISHOF) in 2023, Inducted into the International Snowmobile Hall of Fame in 2023, and have been designated a Snowmobile Friendly County since 2019.
Our mission statement is making the best trails better, from being involved in local politics, widening trails, improving signage, to increasing membership, our goal remains the same; giving our visitors a once in a lifetime experience when enjoying our trail system.

Trails are overall in Fair-Good condition.
We are seeing some very warm temperatures this week into the weekend. Trails will get soft, roads routes where gravel is showing will become bare, corners will be icy, but trails in the woods should hold up just fine with the base we have.
Please leave your paddle tracks at home and be respectful when riding to preserve what we have for everyone to enjoy. Luckily temperatures drop below freezing at night which will allow our groomers to be out late nights and early mornings.
The Turtle Flambeau Flowage and Lake of the Falls are marked, please ride next to the stakes and be careful. Conditions can change rapidly.
As always ride right, ride smart, ride sober and slow down.
Jim was more than just a member — he was part of the Sno-Goers family. Anyone who attended our meetings will remember the familiar, sharp whistle he’d give to get everyone’s attention and bring the room to order before we got started. It was one of the many little things that made Jim unforgettable and reminded us of the leadership and presence he carried.
The trails we ride and the friendships we cherish are better because of people like Jim. His passion for the outdoors and commitment to this community will not be forgotten, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Kathy, and the entire Hanneman family during this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Memorial services will be held on Saturday, February 21st, 2026, at Wichmann Funeral Home, 537 North Superior Street, Appleton, WI. Visitation begins at 2 PM, with a Catholic service at 4 PM and food and refreshments to follow.
As you ride this season, we encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the friendships and community that make our sport so special — something Jim truly embodied.
Ride on, Jim. Your tracks will forever remain in the hearts of the Sno-Goers. ❄️
