Always looking for more members, Never to late to get involved in the best winter sport in Wisconsin!!

Prairie Schooners
Prairie Bunch
Prairie Drifters
Snow Kings


Open Riders
Snow Lords
Snow Sports
The members voted for Prairie Drifters and the club was registered as the Arlington Prairie Drifters effective January 1973. Today the club is comprised of over 116 families. We have built and currently maintain over 60 miles of scenic trails throughout Arlington and Poynette, Wisconsin. Our trails connect with the following areas: DeForest, Waunakee, Lodi, Columbus and Portage. Arlington Prairie Drifters collaborates closely with area landowners and businesses to provide great snowmobiling to sledders passing along our beautiful trails. We work diligently to provide well-groomed trails for the enjoyment of all. ou Can copy and paste the membership form below if you are interested in joining the club!

Dear Arlington Prairie Drifters:

Columbia County Snowmobile Trails are CLOSED for the season. Even if we get enough snow, trails will remain CLOSED. We have landowners getting ready to start field work, fields with standing water where trails are marked, marshes that have a lot of unfrozen water in them, and many fields of winter wheat and hay that have begun to green.

Gregg Johnson up and at ‘em’ early this morning!! We are getting those trails tuned up for everyone!!
