About the Bagley and Brazeau Joyriders:

Welcome to the Bagley & Brazeau Joyriders Snowmobile Club.  We are a member of the AWSC, (Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs). The AWSC provides many services to our club and over 600 other clubs throughout the state of Wisconsin. The club is located in south-eastern Oconto County.  We maintain over 98 miles of groomed trails in Oconto and extend into Marinette County.  Our trail system runs north from White Potato Lake area and south to the Suring/Kelly Lake/Lee Lake area.  Also the trail runs from Coleman to our east and Chute Pond to our west.  We cover the townships of Bagley, Brazeau, Maple Valley and Suring.  Our club members volunteer hundreds of hours to have the best trails available.  We have dedicated members who continue to maintain, develop and groom existing trails, and maintain equipment, and club officers who spend countless hours keeping the club organized and on track.  Our club meetings are held once a month from September through April at our various sponsoring taverns and restaurants.  The Joyriders have a variety of club events during the year.  If you are looking for a snowmobile club to join, we would be happy to have you as a club member.  For more information about our club or trails please email us.  We encourage you to support our club by staying on the marked trails so that we can continue to enjoy a network of trails through public and private land.

History         

The Bagley and Brazeau Joyriders (formerly the Bag and Bra Joyriders), started it's existence very humbly, as most snowmobile clubs did. The Club was formed in 1970 by a bunch of people that has a common love, snowmobiling. The club throughout the years has grown into a corporation and became a member of a much larger parent club (the AWSC). Both of these major changes happened during the 1987-1988 season

Just like the sleds have changed from the spring suspension based, fan cooled machines of the 70s to the water cooled, 14" travel suspension machines of today, So has our need to upgrade to a bigger and better system.

Through the tireless efforts of the membership throughout the years our trail system has been upgraded from simple non-groomed winding trails through the trees to the 98 miles of beautiful wide trails that we have now. We are standing on the shoulders of the members before us that setup the initial trail system by cutting down trees and brush cutting a path for us to ride on. The efforts of the founding members like our first president "Chubs" will not be forgotten. They started to get the "right of way" permissions that so many snowmobilers now take for granted, by negotiating a deal with the land owners. We continue the tradition of negotiating with the local land owners, many that are still from the original "right of way" agreements back in the early 70's, to bring you the best possible trail system that we can. Now we also protect the land owners legally to make sure that there is no liability to them incase of a snowmobile related incident.

About 20 or so years ago the club purchased its first groomer. This tractor was a private purchase, by a couple of our members, so that the club could make our trails nicer. This small tractor was a huge step in the right direction as it improved our trails so much. We now Lease a large John Deere tractor and have a drag that is specifically designed for our type of trails. (There are pictures of our current groomer here)
