Michigan Trail Report


Newberry Trail Report – Halfway Lake Resort – 02/01

Guests who rode yesterday have different opinions. I heard everything from "phenomenal" to "they are getting rough and need to be groomed". Guests report #9 to be excellent. #8 towards Whitefish was "bumpy" and needed to be groomed. The overall picture is that a trail may be excellent in the morning but due for a grooming by evening. Between Grand Marais-Newberry-Paradise there are HUNDREDS of miles of trails that are groomed on a daily basis. Off trail riding is also at its finest. We received 10" of heavy snow 1/30-31 and another 4" of lake effect since then. Here, north of Newberry, they are calling for up to 8" in the next 24 hrs.

Please ride safe. We are receiving multiple complaints of a hole on trail #45- about 15 miles North of Nby near Skyline Rd. There is a plowed portion of the trail, once it returns to groomed trail (heading from Newbs towards The Falls) the hole is about 1-2 miles past the plowed portion.

We have asked our guests to update us on conditions when they return. In turn, we will update you when we are able. If you have been out riding and you are able to email us an update, that would be appreciated. Please understand we are unable to reply to emails regarding trail conditions/updates. We will do our best to compile this info and post.

We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry and 7 miles S of Pinestump Junction. Between Grand Marais and Paradise.

Thank you for your phone calls. Availability:We are full through Friday night with an opening for Saturday-Wednesday 2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 2/5 and 2/6. Full again through 2/9.
