Michigan Trail Report


Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 12/02

Our snowmobile season has officially opened, but we need Old Man Winter to co-operate more. The weather over the weekend was in the 30’s and without new snow groomers couldn’t get out and do their thing. It is early season riding expect a lot of mud and wet spot. Our swamps need some cold weather to freeze up.

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority went out this weekend and rolled trails 2 and 8 as much as they could. Trail 2 from Wakefield to Marenisco has a lot of mud and water. The swamps are still open. Trail 8 is early season riding and trail 160 is open but is again early season riding. Mud and water….
We have gotten word from the DNR trail 11S will be closed due to logging this winter.

The Lake Gogebic groomer’s report: Waiting for colder weather and more snow so they can get out and groom.

The Watersmeet groomer’s report: No official report from Watersmeet but again it is still too early to get out and groom. We need more snow and colder weather.
