Before you ride, plan your route and map out a few trailside restaurants. After all, nothing fuels a great snowmobile trip like a hearty Northwoods meal! Craving a classic Wisconsin fish fry, a juicy burger, or just a spot to warm up? Lincoln County has the perfect pit stop.

Pub 1638 — Merrill

Come in from the cold and grab a stool at Pub 1638, a must-stop in Merrill known for friendly service and satisfying comfort food. It’s a great trail stop for groups or a quick bite between rides! Choose from savory burgers, homemade soups, and daily specials.

Mama D’s du Lac — Tomahawk 

Just off the trail in Tomahawk, Mama D’s du Lac invites snowmobilers to relax lakeside with delicious, scratch-made fare. Their homemade pizzas are a local favorite, but you’ll also find bistro-style dishes, hearty sandwiches, and seasonal cocktails.
