The Keweenaw Snowmobile Club has been out clearing Trail 3 from Toivola to Copper Harbor and Trail 17 from Hancock to Calumet. Yesterday they worked on parts of Trail 134 & 135. There is a lot of work to be done still all across the Western UP! A huge thank you to all volunter roders and business owners out helping!
There is still a lot of storm/blizzard clean up going on all across the Western UP! Have you been one of the generous volunteers that have come up to help clear the trails? Ryan Bennet will be heading up on Friday to help continue the clean up efforts! 👏 Ryan is a loyal rider of the Keweenaw. It’s awesome to see riders give back to the areas they ride! So thanks to Ryan and all others working so hard to get this season underway!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The Lakeshack >> 12/04
Trail 3 has been groomed from Mass city to Houghton and is flat and fast
Trail 109 from Twin Lakes to Alston is a mess yet but a group from Krupps Resort led by Josh and Casandra have been out working hard cleaning up the tree debris
I’m not sure how far they have gotten but are heading out again today
If your feeling the need to ride they could use some help down that way
It should be a great weekend to be up here on a sled
Have a great day

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.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 27 February 2026
The weather has been pretty crazy the past week and a half. Hopefully it will settle down and stay cold for the month of March. Looks like another busy weekend with the hill climbs in South Range. Plus the dog sled races in the Keweenaw.
