LAKEWOOD – Twenty-six volunteers turned out for a recent Paul Bunyan Riders Snowmobile Club trail work day, helping brush and clear trails in preparation for the upcoming snowmobile season.
The turnout gave the club a boost as winter approaches, with volunteers contributing their time and effort to get the trail system ready for riders. Club organizers thanked everyone who helped, emphasizing the essential role volunteers play in maintaining local snowmobile trails.
Billy’s Bar & Grill provided pizza after the work was completed, giving participants an opportunity to enjoy a meal together and wrap up the day.
The Paul Bunyan Riders have served the Lakewood area for more than five decades. The club held its first meeting in September 1969 and incorporated in November 1970. Today, it has more than 500 members and grooms 79.1 miles of funded trails and another 6.2 miles of unfunded trails in Northern Oconto County. The club is also a member of the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs.
Along with maintaining trails, the club supports local causes through its Giving Back Program, which considers donation requests from individuals, groups and nonprofit organizations serving the area or promoting snowmobiling. Volunteers and cooperating landowners remain central to making the trail system possible.
