KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/26
Trails are amazing today in the Keweenaw! Took Portage Lake to the Dreamland Trail. The Dreamland trail is now groomed and open with trees marking the Lake Crossing. Then, took 122 to gay. Not a single track on the freshly groomed trail on 122. Then, 124 towards Vansville Bar. Only saw 5 sleds in one group so far for the entire day.
Trails are in the best shape I have seen in a long time. Shout out to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club Groomers!

Nothing but good reports coming in today from people riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula!
Ryan Bennet and crew shared these photos and review of their day….”Trail 124 is absolutely perfect. Trail 122 was fair to great, just needs more snow for thin spots. Trail 3 and 17 north of Houghton have been good to great also. Trail 132 to Lac La Belle was absolutely perfect as usual.”
Thanks so much for taking the time to share Ryan!
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western & Southern UP Trail Reports – 01/26
Long day yesterday so Im taking today off and it feals good. Started the at 5:00 and ran to Mohawk. We did maintenance on the machine for 8 hrs. then got back to Atlantic Mine 15 hours later. The trails where in great shape but it was a Monday. The best part was seeing kids enjoying the rink in Hancock.

FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress. The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall. Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot. Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord#cadillac #traversecity #petoskey...

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/21
Groomer Operators are pretty much back in full swing grooming trails for riders each day and night. There was a pause to grooming operations due to limited snowfall there for awhile.
The recent snowfall this week has enabled them to resume their schedules and trails are shaping up nicely, as you can see from these photos! Groomer Operator Joshua Rowe Sr. was one operator out all night and these are a few photos of those ribbon 🎀 trails he was laying.
Previously we had mentioned that trail 135 was in pretty poor condition, Josh has said he has been able to groom it the past two nights and it is getting better. He also said that Brockway Mountain
still had some thin areas and of course drifting with the winds we have had. Riders have all been commenting that the mountain was in good shape and the views are amazing!
✅ Trail 124 (previously closed for logging) is now OPEN. There was a water hole on this trail also but It has been filled in and appears to be holding strong 🤞 huge thanks to the Groomer Operators working so hard on this one
⛔ Trail 133 is closed for the entire season due to logging
⛔ Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden is closed due to the Father’s Day flood of 2018. You can still access Lake Linden from Calumet
⛔The Freda Loop – Trails 120 & 121 are also still closed due to the Father’s Day Flood of 2018
⚠ if you are planning to try to ride out to High Rock Bay, please use extreme caution as the water hole is still an issue. Groomer Operators have worked on filling this in several times and will continue to do so. Hopefully with a good freeze and more snowfall they will be able to get the hole locked up.
All other trails are open and will lead you to so many breathtakingly, beautiful areas to view all that the Keweenaw has to offer!
Scroll down the page to read other rider reviews of trails and see their photos! Please feel free to share your photos and riding experiences with us and as always, let us know if we can help with anything when planning a trip to the area.
