Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 02/24

Looks like we could be in for some "significant" snowfall through the middle of next week, at least some of the weathermen are saying so. Amazing the different forecasts one can come up with for the same area. This will be a great weekend to get out in the Keweenaw and hit the snowmobile, ski or snowshoe trails. BE SAFE! — Via Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula Page

This is the Keweenaw trail system report for Friday, February 24, 2012.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and groomers are out working on them. Trails are in good to very good condition. Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails….they have the right of way!!! Please watch out for deer on the trails too.

There is logging on a portion of Trail 133.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.
