Michigan Trail Report


Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 01/31

WOW!!! Finally the end of January and we are living up to our name BIG SNOW COUNTRY. We got 5″ of new snow over night with 3 to 5 more inches for today and 2 to 4 more for tonight. Just what we have been waiting for. It’s here!

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority: Reports both groomers are up and running. Trail 2 was freshly groomed and Trail 8 is being groomed now. The GRTA are reporting trails are in decent shape and will be working on the trails every day. So be patient and give them a chance to get the trails back in shape after the break downs. With all our new snow we should have the trails back in great shape….

The Lake Gogebic groomers report: All trails are in good to very good condition. Groomers are out running continuously on all of our trails to keep them in the best possible shape. PLEASE REMEMBER TO PULL OVER IF YOU SEE A GROOMER. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY… Don’t forget about the Radar Run this weekend in front of the Gogebic Lodge.

The Watersmeet groomers went out last night all trails are groomed and are in good to very good conditions. Trails in the Bruce Crossing area are also in good condition. Still please ride safe!!!

Keep in mind groomers can be out day or night so watch out for them and please pull over or slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by.

Please be careful on corners as you know several Michigan Trail signs have been discontinued. These signs are posted on our trail map. PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!
