Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 01/09
January 9th, 2017
Trail conditions are excellent – aside from some unavoidable wet holes in a few spots. Riders, as well as our groomer drivers, report awesome conditions. We’ve had the extreme cold temps plus the snowfall over this last week to add up to exactly what we needed. As usual, the most snow is over the northern most trails, less as you head south on trail 1 south and 13 south, but what a difference a few miles can make. When you get up on trails 13 north, 1 north and 102 you’ll see what I mean! Almost too much snow…if that’s possible. Continue to watch for a wet hole towards the north end of 102, but it is possible to ride around it without getting wet. Also, there remain a couple of wet areas on trail 1 south to be aware of, however a lot of riders bypass this just by riding the lake.
The weather pattern for the rest of the week continues to look good with highs in the teens/twenties with additional snowfall through the week.
As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticked. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side and as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic.
*HEADS UP: This upcoming Saturday January 14th there will be an ice rescue demonstration just off the Bergland Dock around noon/1:00 e.t., so please use caution traveling through this spot.
