KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports –
More photos from Glenn Rowe’s route last night in Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula!
“The base is anywhere from 1′-4′ depending on trail and locations but we are holding and so far in good to very good shape.” Thanks Glenn!

Conditions as of March 21, 2019:
Most snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are in spring condition. Trail 122 has several flooded areas and will be closed for the rest of the season. The west and east Lac La Belle Loops (132) will not be groomed, due to some icy stretches on hills that have made it unsafe to operate a groomer on. Those trails are still open to snowmobile traffic. As the season works towards a close, the grooming operations will be adjusted on a daily basis to accommodate the safety of our groomer operators, so riders should expect varying conditions on the trails.
Trail 120 and 121 that goes around Freda is closed for the season and will not be reopened, as well as Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden. You can still get to Dollar Bay by way of Hancock and to Lake Linden by way of Calumet. Trail 133 is closed for the season for logging.
Please stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, drive safely. The signs on the trails are there for rider’s safety so please DO NOT remove or destroy them.

So this what some loggers did without permission from the DNR. Your looking south on trail 3 at the rt.38 crossing. They could have waited one more week but decided to ruin our trail early.
☠ Stretch
Does anyone on this site realize that most of the trails are on timberland because the loggers let the trails cross their property
The people bitching about this. I hope they shut the trail down and don’t allow access next winter so the loggers can work all winter and put food on their tables
They log 365 days a year. And if you logged for a living you would do the same thing.
Wow someone has no respect for the time and money spent on the trails. They jumped the gun a week and a half to early with no regard to riders or clubs or the DNR
That is being done all over the UP not just there
Hopefully they will be fined.
Messing with the DNR is never good. They’ll regret it.
DNR should issue a $10,000.00 dollar fine
I came up on the dozer on trail 3 while he was doing this on March 15th. Dennis Smith
Happened on trail 13 near twin lakes too. Last I heard the DNR "told them to fix it"
Its not that bad, i am riding it !@@
I hope the DNR fines the hell out of them.
Loggers save certain sections to log in the spring of the year when the frost laws come on. So the can haul there logs on all weather routes
What’s the name of the company that did this?
It was a bit ruff made it but dam sure in a hurry to cut that wood.
Hope your club can get some answers on this so it don't happen again!! And to think with all the problems because of long tracks, cans, and speeding thus is the opposite.
Same on trail 8, it was horrible
Plowed the trail up?
that’s probably going to cost them a hefty fine, the DNR and NFS are pretty particular about land use agreements
Unbelievable
Chase Wolf Randy Wolf be carful and watch for stuff
Charge them $$$$
Wow! Is there any kind of penalty for that? The Trails in da UP are more important than anything else .
The sun is shining, birds are chirping, not too much "loska"....🌞
Did you get outside today & enjoy this beautiful weather?
Hancock side of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge.
#getoutside #beautiful #springbreak
That hotel should never have been built there. It spoils a once beautiful view of the bridge.
110 District Representative Greg Markkanen meeting and greeting on his way through.
#historyMuch of the eastern 400 block of Calumet's Sixth Street has changed dramatically since 1910. That year, this street was populated by many people and businesses, including (ordered left to right in the photo):
422 6th: Fred Larson, manager of the Paivalehti Finnish-language newspaper, lived here with his family and boarders. Standing (yellow).
420 & 418 6th: Mrs. Louisa (Lenzi) Lesh's grocery store and boardinghouse. Mrs. Lesh catered to Croatian and Slovenian tenants. A tailor also occupied a basement storefront. Mrs. Lesh is best known as the woman who distributed gifts with Anna Clemenc on the stage at the Italian Hall the day of the disaster. #WomensHistoryMonth
416 6th: Residence of Peter Jurich's family and boarders. A saloon occupied the basement.
414 6th: Louis G Sewnig residence. Louis owned Louie's Buffet on 5th St.
412 6th: Blacksmith Jacob D. Kaiser and daughters Mamie and Susie lived above Jacob's blacksmith shop (set back from the street, not visible in photo).
410 6th: A dwelling above a basement saloon appears vacant.
408 6th: A meat market was downstairs. Upstairs, an apartment housed Elias Opland and Thomas Tourison.
406 6th: A saloon occupied the street side, with a house behind it. Thomas Bima occupied the house, while Italian boarders stayed in rooms above the saloon.
404 6th: A saloon with rooms above.
400-402 6th: The Annex Hotel, which also operated a saloon and restaurant inside the hotel.
After a fire in the Michigan Auto Company auto storage garage on 7th Street around 1924, proprietor Paul Pawler started buying up much of this property on 6th Street. According to his nephew, first he converted Mrs. Lesh's large building into auto storage, installing a hand-operated car elevator. Other nearby buildings were removed, and the Locatelli Construction Company did the concrete work for the oldest part of the existing building on the site. The Michigan Auto Company showroom opened there, displaying Diamond T trucks, Chrysler, Plymouth, DeSoto, and other automobiles, Johnson engines, and Chris Craft and other boats. In later years, the building expanded to the south, and eventually Mrs. Lesh's building to the north succumbed as well. Today, Calumet Machine operates in the Michigan Auto Company building, and all the buildings pictured here except the Larson home are #MissingintheCopperCountry.
How come the same cars are in both pictures? Photo shopped?
It must have had a fire as the wooden homes wiyh businesses under them have been replaced by bricks.
Great, interesting.
