Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open. There are groomers out today. Trails are in late season condition.

A reminder that snowmobile trails are closed to 4×4 traffic until the snow has melted. It is dangerous and causes damage to the trails so please refrain from driving on the trails or you will be cited.
There is active logging off of trail #120 and by parts of the Bill Nicholls trail. PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL IN THESE AREAS! It is for your safety as well as the loggers.
The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the trails are there for riders’ safety. Please DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.
Please keep out of the Houghton City RV Park or we will no longer have access to that part of the trail!
