Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 02/28
February 28th, 2017
We have cold temps in the forecast until Saturday with some snow predicted throughout the week.
However, this weekend is calling for temps in the 40’s for highs. At this time groomers will not be going out anymore due to very wet conditions in many areas. Trail 8 west should be completely avoided as much of it is under water. A large beaver pond has created a large wet area on trail 1 south, south of the Gogebic Lodge. Trail 8 east is somewhat bare to due high winds earlier in the week. Trail 1 north and 13 north are mostly ride able but in rough condition and you should watch out for wet areas that may be opening up. Trail 13 south is also ride able but also may have some wet areas opening up. Unplowed Forest Service roads can still be ridden, you can stop at one of their offices (Watersmeet, Ironwood & Ontonagon) for maps or information. Remember to stay off the highway between JW’s Restaurant and the gas station in Bergland as this is not a trail and you will be ticketed. Unfortunately the long term weather predictions look like this coming weekend may be your last chance to do any snowmobiling in our area this season. Warmer temps and no snow for the first couple of weeks of March will put an end to our trails. I will, however, keep you posted if we get a late season snowstorm in March – those are always fun.
