Trail Report: Feb 25th , 2012 @ 9:40 am
Winter was late in arriving but we got about 5-6 inches of beautiful white snow yesterday and last night. Grooming is being done. The trails are upgraded to fair – good. Sun is shining and it just looks like a good day to get out there and ride or ski! More snow on the way for the week. Stay away warm temperatures so we can enjoy for a bit!

Saturday Morning Trail Report
by Heart Lake Resort on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 8:05am

Better Trails Now – New Snow Finally! In the last 36 hours, give or take, we’ve received some good snow. I’m looking at about six inches of new snow on our snow gauge here at Heart Lake Resort. The trail rating can easily be upgraded now from poor to fair to fair to good in most areas. You’ll find some really good snow in the protected areas and in the back country. The forecast over the next few days is looking good as well – go to NOAA.gov and plug in Gaylord, MI. The temperature now is 23.1 on our digital weather station. We have quite a few riders here this weekend. Winter is back. And remember, if you ever need more information or an honest trail report, whether you’re staying with us or not, please feel free to call. If you need a place to stay, please give us a call as well. We are now booking for Spring Golf Groups, your Family Reunion for Memorial Day Weekend and Summer Family Fun. Thank You.

Trail Report: Feb 24th , 2012 @ 8:46 am
Reports coming in are still rating the trails in our area to be in “Poor to Fair” condition ~ but are getting better today with this snow that is coming down. Where they run through the woods and are protected they are being rated “Fair to even Good” in some places. Reports from riders yesterday said: Trail 7 that parallels Old 27 from the Grayling area to north of Gaylord is still showing bare spots in many places, especially along Otsego Lake where it is all dirt and just not rideable at this time. Once you get on trail 4 though the rough spots and head to the West, you’ll find better conditions. Where trail # 4 parallels Mancelona Road they were still seeing some bare ground in the open areas or on the hilltops. We have the chance of receving 1 ~ 2 inches of snow today and 1 ~ 2 inches of snow tonight. As always please check back here for updated reports.

Trail Report – Friday Morning….
by Heart Lake Resort on Friday, February 24, 2012 at 7:05am

I would still rate the trails in our area to be in poor to fair condition but are getting better today with this snow that is coming down. (go to NOAA.gov and plug in Gaylord, MI) Where they run through the woods and are protected I would rate them fair and even good in some places. I did some riding yesterday to check them out to be sure. Trail 7 that parallels Old 27 from the Grayling area to north of Gaylord is still showing bare ground in many places, especially along Otsego Lake where it is all dirt and just not rideable at this time. Once you get on trail 4 though and head to the West, you’ll find better conditions. Where trail # 4 parallels Mancelona Road I am still seeing some bare ground in the open areas or on the hilltops. The back country and two-tracks still have good snow. The temperature now is 28.2 here at Heart Lake Resort.
