The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are officially open, but more snow is needed to groom. Some panning has been done on part of the trails system. As soon as conditions improve the Keweenaw Trails Services will turn loose its fleet of groomers to get the trails in shape. Early season conditions.

Any trail usage should be done with extreme care until we have better snow coverage as there are rocks, stumps, branches and wet areas not covered by snow and hazards that have not been identified.

The protective mat on the Portage Lift Bridge between Houghton and Hancock has not been installed, so please drive carefully on the metal grating until the mat is installed…do NOT use the ice.

Remember to watch out for the groomers when your’re out on the trails…..they have the right away!!

Please be aware that if you snowmobile on U.S. Coast Guard property you could face federal trespass charges.

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.
