Back in 1975, in response to a request by the
Brainerd City Council concerning safe snowmobiling, a few
avid snowmobilers organized and incorporated the BRAINERD
SNODEOS SNOWMOBILE CLUB.
With chainsaws, axes, shovels and sweat the
Club laid out a trail from Brainerd to Riverton and from
Brainerd to Crow Wing State Park .
In 1976 the Club purchased our first groomer –
a twin tracked Ski Doo Alpine, pulling a 4 foot wide
homemade drag.
The 125 member strong Brainerd Snodeos
now maintain and groom 100 miles of trail from Brainerd to
Riverton, to Crow Wing State Park, to Harding and towards
Garrison. The present groomer is a Tucker Sno-Cat
B2000 with 8 foot wide fully hydraulic drag can smooth the
roughest trails in a single pass. The overall length
of this rig is about 45 feet and the cost in excess of $
150,000.00.
Building and maintaining trails is a
year-round commitment for the club members, who volunteer
their time to cut trees, clear brush, pick rock, build
bridges, install culverts and put up signs to prepare for
the snowmobile season ahead. ahead.
The members of the Brainerd Snowmobile Club and our
groomer operators that groom our and your trail would like
to remind all users that many hours of volunteered time are
given each year to make the trail system we have safe and
enjoyable for all
