Lake Gogebic Area Groomers Report

Approximately 5-7 inches of new snow since last night and temps more in line with this time of the season have seen an improvement over much of our trail system. We do have more snow in the forecast over each of the next few days along with some significantly colder nighttime temps. Groomers are getting out over as much of our trail system as possible; however it will take time to bring the trails back to early January conditions. Please keep in mind that a lot of wet areas did reopen over the warm up we experienced and speeds should be kept slower to give you time to avoid these spots. In most cases you can ride around the wet spots.

Streams, rivers, and swampy areas are not safe at this time, please avoid.

Groomers went out last night and panned/flattened the trails and will continue as conditions permit. Conditions are fair to poor.

Trail 3 North is fair with a few wet spots

Trail 3 South to WI is fair/poor

Trail 2 is fair/poor with gravel areas and there are wet spots west of trail 13 south and further west by Barb Lake.

Trail 13 South is fair/poor there are two wet areas south of US Hwy 2 crossing one about 100 ft. long.

Hang in there. Please stay on marked trails. Riding on unmarked trails can result in the club losing easement for that trail and can possibly get yourself a ticket.

Our trails overall need more snow. The forecast for this coming week is temps in the 20’s but not a whole lot of snow.

Gogebic Range Trail Authority Report

Overall conditions are poor. Trails have not been groomed in a week due to temperatures.
Our trails will require a lot of rework to get them back in shape. We will keep you posted.

Lake Gogebic Area Groomers Report

It is finally getting colder and we have some snow in the forecast an inch here and there. Our overall condition of the trails is poor. The groomers are good to go and have started heading out where possible. Trail 102 where the water problem was, now has water running down the trail, but our drivers said you can get around it without getting wet. Use caution on this trail and watch for the water. Trail 8 west is looking very wet-early season conditions. Please do not try and ride the ditch along this stretch as you will end up in more water. Best to try to avoid this trail for right now. Just keep in mind that there will be wet areas reopened up on almost all trails so keep speeds down and watch for changing conditions.

Streams, rivers, and swampy areas are not safe at this time, please avoid.

U.P. Thunder Riders of Watersmeet Trail Report

Conditions are fair/poor. It is rideable but it’s like the good, the bad and the ugly out there. You will encounter icy corners, some dirt spots, and wet areas but you should be able to get around them pretty easy. You will also encounter miles of beautiful snow covered trails so it is a mixed bag. Grooming is suspended at this time but it won’t take much to get back out on the trails.

Trail 3 North is fair

Trail 3 South to WI is fair/poor

Trail 2 is fair/poor

Trail 13 South is fair/poor.
Hang in there. Please stay on marked trails. Riding on unmarked trails can result in the club losing easement for that trail and can possibly get yourself a ticket.
