Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/21
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 03/21 Sorry but I just had to do it since it’s more than just a flurry. ☠ Stretch <> <> <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 3/30/25 ❄️ KSC was out grooming yesterday, from Toivola to Copper Harbor. Trails are still holding up pretty good. Granted some spots thin/bare with this new snow over night helped for sure. Trail 3 is the ONLY trail you can ride a sled on from April 1st on, the others close down. The water is open and the bridge is closed so you have to trailer across the Houghton Lift Bridge. Have fun everyone, if you can get one more ride in - go for it! 🇺🇸⛄️❄️ www.kruppsresortmi.com #keweenaw #snowphotos3/30/25 ❄️ KSC was out grooming yesterday, from Toivola to Copper Harbor.

Trails from Hancock north to about Mohawk are true late season riding - bare spots, wet areas, exposed rocks etc….Mohawk to about Phoenix definitely not perfect but still great spring riding.

It’s awesome to see so many riders out enjoying these awesome conditions. Last nights snowfall really freshened things up!
Groomers have also been out again! #keweenaw #snowphotos
We've got 3 days left in the season and I'm pretty sure the groomers are done for the year. Today started with a light mist around 10am and turned into a pretty solid rain all afternoon. Now at 7pm it's a frozen sleet coming down. They are calling for about an inch of snow/sleet over night tonight. Not much tomorrow during the day but then tomorrow night we might see 2"-4".
If you're up for one last ride remember the Portage bridge is closed and ride with caution.

Trail 122 and 133 sadly, not recommemd by our experience and other riders due brush (133) and low snow (122) Getting in and out of Gay on Wednesday was good but deteriorated quickly after. (Trail 124 from Phoenix to Gay is closed!
Trail 134 and 135 are like superhighways and literally best riding all season.
Who knows what this forecast is actually going to do as far as additional snowfall, but if you are looking for one last ride possibly on Monday, it could be awesome!
We saw probably 50 other riders and not one was regretting their decision to make this last trip! All seemed to be seasoned spring riders, which does make a difference.
Highly recommend staging from the The Drift Inn or even a location further north if you are planning one last ride! (Be sure to stop in today for their awesome Taco Pizza)
Trails running on private land close after the 31st. Trails on state land do not close - example - trail 3 running south out of Houghton! Plenty more across the UP! Know before you go!
The Portage Lake Lift Bridge is closed to snowmobile crossing. #keweenaw #snowphotos
The first round comes tomorrow through Saturday morning with freezing rain/rain/sleet. The second round comes Saturday night into Sunday.
The track of this system still remains unclear for Sunday and snowfall axis. Regardless, we're expecting sloppy roads.
More updates to come! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
Heavy, wet snowfall could be seen over the area late Saturday through Sunday as the second half of the system moves through. Some power outages will be possible and expect slick roadways. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaAn incoming storm system is expected to bring a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow across the U.P. during the weekend.

Shane’s message:
3/25/25- Casandra - feel free to share these photos of trail conditions north of the bridge from 140 miles of riding yesterday. Groomed tails were all nearly very good - excellent.
Last 3 pictures are from this morning 3/26/25 #keweenaw #snowphotos
Everyone that has messaged me claims that the trails are the best they've been all year. Thank you Shane for your report of the Keweenaw looks like you had a good ride.
