Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/01
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 03/01 3/1/25 First the good. Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails and called them good. Heavy drifting in "siberia" of course. Groomer Ben hit the Point trails and called them great. Groomer Gerald ran the Falls trail and called that good. Groomer Mike C. ran the South trail #8 and called that great…now the bad news part….the swamp south of town opened up big time. He barely made it thru with the groomer and we had to close it down, THE GATES ARE CLOSED, don`t go around them, you will get wet or stuck!!!! The 46 degree day and sunny last Monday really brought the water level up in der. I went thru there on Tuesday with a groomer and broke thru in a lot of places. I then went back on Wednesday with just a machine and spent half the day in there and filled in all the water holes. That lasted just one day and it opened up again….its the high water…..then when Mike went thru there yesterday he barely made it. It just doesn`t make sence to go in there and try and fix it again especially when the temps are gonna rise next week for a few days….sorry…..it sucks. The DNR and law enforcement are aware of the situation. You can ride the UNPLOWED portion of M-123 from the river mouth to the south end of town but the law WILL be watching…UNPLOWED portion is the main word here folks!!! It looks like March will be up and down on temps (normal) but with all the snow this year the trails will hold up nice. I can see them lasting thru March unless something drastic happens with the temps! COME ON U.P.!!!!

What’s everybody’s thought about how the trails would be in paradise in a week from now the following weekend I’m in Traverse City and we have lots of snow, but the melting caused it to be hard. Not good for riding.  Here now, Friday got 4-6”, then rain erased much of it. Dirt and paved roads are 👎. Trailer to the trails your ok, gotta be 6 ft of snow in woods. NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Starting to snow pretty good!!! Hopefully c u tomorrow Chris Marchand <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>

Trail 8 on south side of Paradise
Unplowed portion of m-123 has to be used due to high water in swamp.. #paradise #newberry #snowphotos
Welcome to march and a ton of new snow #paradise #newberry #snowphotos
Im and out of Windy Corner, they will be glad we came,.
All in all once you're out of Newberry the trail continues to improve as I go, a ribben is pretty evasive with this snow texture but it's laying out flat pretty nicely .
All right, so I opened my big mouth, turned to go north head to Pine Stump, this trail is Trash! It's Rib Bone Non Stop!
Craters in corners and a base plug full of holes! 2" of new snow isn't really helping, making it much better but far from proud.
4:44 THAT WAS A CHORE!
Snow is just not cooperating at all.
Holland Lake, and Grand Marais has been through.
Head it back see what I can do.
8:28 It's nice, turned out pretty nice.
Back to 415, about 3" last night, still great riding out here! #newberry #snowphotos

Well, it looks like winter has decided to return! The last couple of days the temps have been in the 30`s, day and night. This morning it is 21 degrees and snowin and blowin HARD. We are under a winter storm warning and "they" are saying anywhere from 4-10"....hmmmmm. As far as the trails....here ya go.....
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trails 8 and 9 yesterday/last night and called them good.
Groomer Ben hit the Point trails 452 and 453 and called them good to go.
Groomer Mike C. hit the south trail 8 and called that good also.
I haven`t heard from the guy that hit the Falls trail 45 but I gotta assume that it is good to go too. We will hit every trail today again and for the weekend then see what happens with the temps. They are supposed to go up again in the beginning of the week for a few days.
All trails are flat cause we can groom with the warmer temps but hard due to the temps turning colder. This snow sure will help with lubrication tho. The warmer weather the last few days did take a toll on the plowed connector dirt roads. They are down to mud....frozen mud now....so a little tough...but only very short distances.
COME ON U.P.!!!!!! Time is runnin out!!!!! There is still A LOT of snow in the woods but It looks like March will be a cycle of warm/cold/warm/cold, so ya never know what will happen next.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry
Will try a video every hour..
Enjoy #paradise #newberry #snowphotos
It should be a good weekend to be up!
I’m we have plenty of parking out back if you want to trailer up #newberry #snowphotos
