PLEASE DO NOT RIDE THE HWY. IN BERGLAND FROM JW’S RESTAURANT TO THE GAS STATION!!! YOU WILL BE TICKETED. YOU MUST TAKE THE TRAIL AND CROSS AT ANTONIO’S RESTAURANT TO ACCESS THE GAS STATION. THANK YOU. Our drivers are reporting that 8 west has been groomed and is good condition, just use caution around wet areas. Trail 1 south still has 2 wet spots that they are working on; trail 102 is in good condition but watch for a wet area towards the north end of the trail. Trail 1 north is in good condition along with 13 north and 8 east. Do watch out for some rocks on trail 13 north. Trail 13-south of Root Cellar to trail 2 is in very good condition. Pleasantly surprised how much it improved from last Friday-groomed like a hwy. hardly any dirt showing. Trail 100- feeder trail from 13 to Lake Gogebic is very good, however it is still not open all the way from 13 south to 1 south due to logging. Trail 102 from south boundary is in good condition. *If you’d like additional information about our area please contact The Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce at 888.GOGEBIC or www.lakegogebicarea.com.
