KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 2/02
Trevor and Joanne Van Berkom have been UP riding the Keweenaw this week and couldn’t have had better timing as far as conditions are concerned. They are staying at the The Trailside Lodge on Trail 17 in Calumet! Joanne said, “ we are loving our stay here!! So close to everything and awesome customer service!” Trevor shared these photos with us after their ride today and said, “We had our best day of snowmobiling EVER today!
Beautiful snow-covered trails through pine and cedar tree forests and along the top spine of the Brockway Mountains. We met some friendly snowmobilers along the way and helped a lone stranded rider to safety when his sled got stuck off the side of the trail. 91 miles on the day but who is counting!”
Trevor and Joanne have also shared a great lunch at Eagle Harbor Inn and lunch at Roy’s Pasties & Bakery. Trevor said, “they do pasties and snow well up here!”
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos Trevor and Joanne! We are S❄️ happy you are enjoying your trip!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club 2/01
We may have had a slow 🐢 start to this season but seriously couldn’t ask for better conditions now! 👏❄️ The LES guns were initiated with the deep freeze, winds and fact that Lake Superior was pretty much wide open and they seem to be stuck in the “on” position! The Keweenaw trails are in EXCELLENT condition!
⚠️ Trail 122 is open from the junction of trail 3/122 ONLY to Sawmill Rd – the entrance to the Valley Sno Drifters trail to Dreamland Restaurant & Bar – take a trip out to Dreamland on this awesome club trail!
🚫Trail 122 past Sawmill Rd towards trail 124/Gay is still temporarily closed for logging! Please do NOT attempt to ride this section of trail! You can still access Gay via trail 124 and trail 133!
🚫Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden is closed as is Trails 120/121 the Freda Loop due to the Fathers Day Flood of 2018. Trail 3 reconstruction is expected to be completed and opened back up by the start of the 2023/24 season! You can still access Lake Linden via trail 17/3 and DOLLAR bay via trail 3 out of Hancock
👏Trail 133 (previously too wet and low on snow) is now being groomed as part of the regular rotation.
The trail to High Rock Bay was groomed and the water hole filled in and closed up last weekend. It has not been groomed since as groomers wanted to make sure they wouldn’t break the hole back open so the trail has some moguls now until it is groomed again. Still 💯 worth the ride out to see the beautiful view!
✅We highly recommend downloading the Groomer Tracker app and subscribing to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trail system to receive up to the moment grooming information. There is a nominal $10 for this, however $5 comes directly back to the club to support grooming operations! This is a win/win for the club and riders! Help support the clubs where you ride! PLEASE ride right, ride sober and stop at ALL stop signs. The UP and Wisconsin have had too many fatalities already this season!

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Lake effect flurries and snow showers are possible today, March 1st, 2026 across some of northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. With dry air mixing in, totals will be relatively kept in check, but a swath of 1-3", perhaps 4" is possible along M-28 south of Grand Marais. Changing wind fields will also allow for light/brief accumulations along some of our lakeshore regions in the Lower Peninsula, but it's not guaranteed for everyone. Timing is through the remainder of the day. Mild temperatures coming later this week, which should help begin the melting process for many. #miweather #keweenaw#munising #newberry #sooLake effect flurries and snow showers are possible today, March 1st, 2026 across some of northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.
