Baldwin Area Trail Report – 12/06

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club – 12/06

Please watch out for the groomers today. We are headed south on trail 3 and 320 from Baldwin to woodland park area now til 10-11 tonight when we arrive back at groomer barn in Baldwin. Remember yield to the groomers when approaching from either front or back we will see you and find a safe place for you to pass.

Friday 12/6 update. I’ll start with the good news, all trails currently open in our system were groomed last night/early this morning (🚨reminder: trail 19 from Whiskey Creek to Hart remains closed until til January 1st please keep out or you are trespassing and will be ticketed!). Your best bet is to ride the North and rail sections to Reed City along with our middle sections from Baldwin to the South T🤪to just beyond the Woodland Park area. We also groomed the South section from Newaygo Sports Park to the 8 mile area late last night. The southern most part was thin with snow and turned out pretty snirty it’s rideable but I’d avoid that area if possible. From the M-20 parking area west of White Cloud to the north, there are good sections and bad. The hilliest areas have extreme ruts, water holes, and 2 to 3 foot deep bumps in places. Take it extremely cautiously through these areas as some bumps I went airborn and spilled my coffee at 5mph🚨I can only imagine what it would feel like on a sled! This was the first groom of this section for the season so we attempted to cut some bumps and atv/truck ruts resulting in some dirt mixed in. Please do us a favor and if you see hazards like rocks, large limbs and such in the trails please stop to throw them off the trail if you can do so safely. Please notify us here if you come across any hazards such as large downed trees or other debris and we will do our best to get them cleared out. As always, ride right and please ride sober. Also watch for groomers as there will be some out during the day today trying to get one last groom in to set things on before the big warm up starting Saturday. – TRSC grooming team.
