KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/21
Where did you chase the snow to this weekend? We had a lot of riders that chased the 50 plus inches of snow that fell here in the Keweenaw lady week!
Mark Berg and crew were just one of the groups that chose to ride the Keweenaw! It’s crazy to think that it’s the middle of January and riders are making their first trip of the season. Also crazy to believe it’s the middle of January, and we just recently received the first real significant snowfall.
Mark shared these beautiful photos and said, “We rode Trail 3 from Houghton to Copper Harbor. Plenty of snow. Was a little choppy at first. Meet the groomer half way up and it was like glass after that. On the way home it got a little choppy, even after being gromed. But from a group of Southern Minnesota riders, it sure beats a corn field! Thank you so much for all the trail updates. Keep up the great work!”
Thanks for sharing, Mark! We experienced the same thing on Trail 3 last night, which can be expected without really having a base yet and heavy traffic. Next weeks bit warmer temps should help with that and hopefully some fresh snowfall on top!
Riders should ride with extreme caution as it is still considered, early season conditions. You may experience exposed rocks, thin spots and some trails have less snow over than others. Please also note, the spur trail to High Rock Bay has not been groomed this season and there is a significant water hole. Please see post made yesterday with photos.
For those looking to stage in Houghton, please note the previous lot used for parking below the bridge, is no longer available for truck and trailer parking. Ray Kestner Waterfront Park right down the road is open and there is plenty of room!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club – 01/21
Trails took a beating yesterday as the main corridors on our system saw very high traffic. As a reminder, we lack a robust “base” for this time of year. We cut and laid things back down but without that base it tears apart quickly.
Reminder that the High Rock Spur is not being groomed due to the trail condition and that there are still many wet areas on our system. Ride right and with caution as you support our local establishments!
