Please BEWARE of the groomers on the trails. We Take Pride in Your Ride, but we take just as much concern with your safety. Everyone is here for a fun time, but returning home to your families safely is just as important to us!
There is a staging area north of town at Silver Creek 3 miles north if you want to avoid the side of the road out of town. Go north after crossing the tracks and take a left at the Silver Creek ORV sign and go to the dead end and start out from there on Trail 9. Plenty of room there!
A friendly reminder is slow down and stay to the right especially on the corners. Stay on the trail. Private property owners gives us the privilege to have trails across their property and we do not want to lose it.
TASA works mostly with volunteers. We have the best groomers in the U.P. They dedicate long hours and nights away from their families to groom the trails so you can enjoy them safely. Please be cautious as you approach a groomer as they stop for your safety so please slow down when you are passing them. It is always appreciated when you can tip your hat to them and thank them for their efforts or give them a wave. Be Safe out there and take time to enjoy nature and the best scenery the U.P has to offer.
