The Wolf Pack was formed in 1994 by founding member, Tree Farmer, as a way to streamline the area's grooming efforts. The Club's first duties were directed at helping the Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog Race with the Lake Louise portion of their race trails. Our responsibilities grew over the years as more volunteers and members helped the Club grow into a non-profit organization responsible for almost 200 miles of winter trails in the Lake Louise and Copper River area. 

The Lake Louise Snowmachine Club supports and maintains trails in the Lake Louise and Copper Basin area, specifically:

Crosswind Trail The Crosswind Trail starts on the East side of Lake Louise, approximately 3 miles northeast of the lodges and follows old fire cuts to Crosswind Lake. This trail is fast becoming the preferred winter access route to Crosswinds by residents and recreational users. This widely used trail is equipped with numerous safety and hazard signs. Its long straight-a-ways and scenic views make this a perfect trail for a family ride  Length - 23 miles. 
 

Tolsona Trail The Tolsona Trail starts at about Mile 16 of the Lake Louise Road and takes you across Tolsona Creek and on to Tolsona Lodge. The curves and jags of this trail make it fun for the more experienced rider; however, everyone who exercises caution through the hazard areas will find the scenic trail enjoyable. Length - 26 miles.

​

Eureka Trail The Eureka Trail is one of the newer trails in the area. The trail crosses many lakes and lowlands before heading into the high area above the tree line to summit at approximately 3,020 feet. At the Tyone intersection at Mile 26.2, you can head to Eureka Lodge via the Old Nelchina Townsite or you can journey across Big Bones Ridge on the Moore Lake Loop Trail. Length - 54 miles. 
 

Moore Lake Loop The Moore Lake Loop Trail begins at Mile 26.2 of the Eureka Trail and travels along the high ground until it drops down into Lake Susitna, just north of Lake Louise. Length - 41 miles. 
 

Other side trails and transportation trails in the immediate Lake Louise area are also maintained.

Winter Trail Grooming & Care 2022-2023 Season

The maintenance, upkeep and grooming of the Lake Louise trail system by the Lake Louise Snow Machine Club (LLSMC) are essential for safety and community support. The efforts of club volunteers and in part, funds the LLSMC has received through the Alaska Snowmobile Trail Grooming Pool and the Matanuska Susitna Borough, has allowed for the maintenance (grooming) and trail marking of the many trails connecting the lakes within the Lake Louise area. These trails are of vital importance, in that a properly maintained and marked trail provides safe access to and from residential and recreational homes and cabins within the Eureka, Glennallen, Lake Louise, Crosswind, Tolsona, and Mendaltna areas. In addition, the Lake Louise area is noted for being one of Alaska’s premier winter playgrounds and these trails provide endless recreational activities. In addition to snowmobiling (primary use), the trails are used by cross country skiers, dog mushing, fat-tire bikers, and hikers. 


In addition to providing access to cabins and homes and for enhancing recreational activities, the most important need for these funds is for emergency purposes. The Louise, Susitna, Tyone Community Association (LSTCA) emergency services and the Alaska State Troopers provide the primary emergency services for this area. These trails provide a much safer and faster conduit for emergency personnel to respond to an incident or condition that threatens life or safety. These grant funds help support an access system which provides for a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations.


Scope of Work

The number one priority is to mark and maintain an inter-connected system of trails on the Lake Louise, Lake Susitna and Tyone Lake areas. This area is noted for extreme ice fog and blowing snow during the winter months. The marking of these trails consists of using volunteer teams, utilizing chainsaws to place carsonite markers in the ice every 10thof a mile. Grooming with the snow-cats and snow machines starts once ice thickness allows for safe passage, usually in mid-late December. The Lake Louise trail systems are connected to the Eureka Lodge, Tolsona Lodge, McClaren River Lodge, and the Mendaltna Lodges. In total, the club maintains over 350 miles of trails. In addition, the club also maintains trails to the Crosswind Lake area and to the Copper Basin 300 mushing trail which also connects to other Matanuska Susitna Borough and State of Alaska supported trails.
