One of the reasons you see no trails in the cameras is that snowmobiler's know to stay away from the shoreline or islands as that is where the deep drifting snow and slush will happen.
Another reason is the trails are great so why ride the lake! The snow on the lake is all powder and really deep, nothing is packed down so it can be really hard on your machine.
Also tracks which are made one day are being covered over by wind blown snow. The snow is so powdery the wind is just blowing it everywhere filling in any old tracks. I have been going back and forth to my camp on Welch every weekend with multiple snowmobiles and my tracked Ranger. You would never know by looking at my cameras. The windblown snow just fills the tracks in in a matter of hours!
