The Story of Hurley: Connecting Trails to the Community

In this episode, Hailey dives into the story of Hurley, including the community and its interwoven trail system. Hurley is tucked in Iron County–the snow capital of Wisconsin–and it surely lives up to its title. But the snow has never stopped the community from getting outside and connecting with one another by trail. Hurley continues to add on to their rich history by grooming trails, providing trails for visitors and locals alike to explore, and captures the heart of the community downtown. An integral part of Hurley’s history is the White Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club, and their grooming traditions, which are now being passed down to the next generation. Because of their grooming efforts, Hurley has over 300 funded miles of snowmobile trails for everyone to enjoy. The best part? They all connect to the local businesses at the heart of the community. A few local gems are Sharon’s Coffee Company and the notorious Iron Nugget.Read the blog here: https://discoverwisconsin.com/blog/the-story-of-hurley-connecting-trails-to-the-community/Hurley: https://hurleywi.com/; Iron County: http://www.co.iron.wi.gov/; White Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club: https://whitethunderriders.com/; Iron County Little Rippers Club: https://www.facebook.com/people/Iron-County-Little-Rippers/100066302209000/?paipv=0&eav=AfZcXvKXx_ZCP4fmSLQNlkxa0ws-2hzcaHfx715y6RvTgbqufQQ_RLli7galKIPZLqM&_rdr; Mercer Sno-Goers: https://mercersnogoers.com/; Iron County Forestry: https://ironcountyforest.org/; Snowmobile Trails: https://hurleywi.com/snowmobile-trails/; Ashland County: https://co.ashland.wi.us/; Price County: https://www.co.price.wi.us/; Vilas County: https://www.vilascountywi.gov/; Sharon’s Coffee Company: https://www.facebook.com/sharonscc; Iron Nugget: https://www.ironnugget.com/; The Bobber: https://discoverwisconsin.com/blog/The Cabin Podcast: https://the-cabin.simplecast.com; Follow on social @thecabinpodShop Discover Wisconsin: shop.discoverwisconsin.com; Follow on social @shopdiscoverwisconsinDiscover Wisconsin: https://discoverwisconsin.com/; Follow on social @discoverwisconsin Discover Mediaworks: https://discovermediaworks.com/; Follow on social @discovermediaworksEnbridge: https://www.enbridge.com/; Follow on social @enbridge
