Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/26
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports….
I personally have only been riding on the north side of the bridge (Portage Lake Lift Bridge) however, every report I have receive from the south side….Houghton to Mass City has been excellent.
Ryan Bennet and crew are staying at Krupps Resort, as they always do, and shared these photos and comments of their ride today….
“Trail 3 may be the smoothest I’ve ever seen it. Real hard snow base that’s been groomed perfectly! Pure glass from mosquito to the 3 bridges…… The Mosquito Inn to Mass city was excellent!”
Thanks for taking the time to share photos and your reviews each trip up Ryan! Hoegully we Ron into you somewhere this week!

We hope you all enjoyed Christmas whether you were gathered around the tree with family and friends or riding through the trees behind the bars of your sled!
Joka Philipovic spent the day riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula and shared these photos and comments, “we started from The Trailside Lodge and then took Trail 3 north all the way to Copper Harbor. We put around 150 miles on our sleds and it was awesome with almost no traffic. There were a couple wet areas but none that were bad. There was plenty of snow ❤😀”
Thanks for sharing your photos and comments! So glad you have been enjoying your trip!
Groomer Operators are out currently. You can view their progress by downloading Groomer Tracker app and subscribing to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club. There is a $10 fee and half of that goes to the club! You will obtain real time grooming information AND help support the club!
We are under a winter weather advisory for Monday!
👏The Portage Lake Lift Bridge will be opened for snowmobile crossing tomorrow afternoon. Groomer operators will be working on this in the morning, please avoid the area while they are getting the snow mat put down
⚠Trail 122 is closed after the turn off for Dreamland Restaurant & Bar (Sawmill Rd) when you are coming from Lake Linden. You can still access all of the businesses in Lake Linden and Jam Service Inc. and Valley Sno Drifters trail to Dreamland once that club opens it. *You can not use Trail 122 to connect to Trail 124*
⚠Trail 133 has been reopened after being closed for several seasons. The trail is in poor condition due to low snow cover and wet areas
🛑 Trail 120/121 Freda Loop and Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden will be closed for the season due to the extensive damage from the 2018 flood. The trail from Hancock to Dollar Bay and from Calumet to Lake Linden will be open so both towns will be accessible

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club >> Yesterday's report from Groomer Chris out of our Greenland barn:
I just got back from inspecting 3/13. Roughly 18 bare spots this evening compared to the two that were there when I went out around noon. Most of the bare spots are 3-4' in diameter however there is about a 16' long bare spot on the 90 degree turn/hill by 3. Significant portions of the trails are pretty slushy and the snow is real loose on the majority of the trails. Thankfully 13 is still in decent shape however the stretch of 3 from aspen lane to the 3/12 intersection is full of small 6" or so moguls.
I'm gonna hold off on grooming because the snow is so wet I don't think I'll be able to get it to flow out the drag and it's not gonna get cold enough to firm up the snow.
Thank you, Chris! #keweenaw
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club >> All grooming in the Greenland area will be temporarily suspended until further notice. #keweenaw
