WELCOME TO THE BIRCHWOOD BOBCAT SLEDDER'S SNOWMOBILE CLUB!


   

 The Birchwood Bobcat Sledders Snowmobile Club is located in the scenic Northwoods of Birchwood, Wisconsin on the Tuscobia Trail. We are a non-profit organization that has been in existence since 1983 with the responsibility of maintaining and grooming snowmobile trails in Sawyer, Washburn, Barron, and Rusk counties. This network of trails will take you on a picturesque ride as you wind through the woods and soar across the frozen lakes.

 

Since our existence, members have willingly joined forces and committed themselves to provide safe and enjoyable trails throughout the Birchwood area. Together we work to build, maintain, educate, and promote the family sport of snowmobiling. We operate entirely on volunteer efforts that partnership with landowners and community members to best represent Wisconsin Snowmobilers. Due to these collaborated efforts, Wisconsin is known for its statewide trail system.  Currently, we have about 150 members that consist of individual, family and business memberships; however, we always welcome new members. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Birchwood Bobcat Sledders Snowmobile Club, please complete the printable membership form.

 

Many of the trails in our area are not state-funded, which means local snowmobile clubs must financially cover the costs to maintain these trails. In order to do this, we hold an annual Trail Improvement Fundraiser with only 200 tickets sold! If you are unable to help out with your time, this becomes an alternative way to help support the club, along with a chance to win over $6500.

AWSC "Of The Year Winners - 2011"

Snowmobiler of the Year—Gary Koel

Gary’s passion for the sport has never waivered during the more than three decades of riding sled. On average he will ride 5,000+ miles during a season. His enthusiasm motivates those around him and it’s not uncommon for Gary and his group of buddies to put in a 180-mile ride in a day, not bad for someone who is close to turning 80. If someone is looking for a group to ride with, don’t miss out on Gary’s “Tuesday” ride which has grown into a well-known day around the area. Each week a different course is mapped out and Gary leads the group on a fun-filled day. Gary has been an active member not only in his club, but is also the club delegate to the Sawyer County Snowmobile & ATV Alliance. He organizes local snowmobile events, physically works on the trails to improve them, is also a groomer for the Birchwood Bobcat Sledders, and has groomed for Washburn County, grooming every trail within that county. Although Gary may be hitting the “80 year” mile marker, his enthusiasm and love for the sport of snowmobiling is timeless.
