Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/17
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 12/17
17 December 2025
It felt great tonight to be back in the saddle again. I just did a short run to get used to it but I’m ready to Rock & roll. I must say the trails are in the best shape I’ve seen in years. Hopefully it’ll stay cold so we can keep the base we have right now.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 01 April 2026
Looks like we're going get another 8 inches of snow starting tonight. That should put us close to 320 for the season. Not a bad year.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 31 March 2026
This not an April fools joke. Keweenaw Snowmobile Club and Baraga are giving the trails one more shot on the last night of grooming. Should be sweet after we get the snow they are calling for.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The Lakeshack >> After today it’s the start of spring rides
Well most trails close after today, Trail 3 is open all year and there’s plenty of snow left in these parts
It’s kinda sad dayfor trail riders especially since reports from Toivola north trails are reporting excellent conditions and a snowstorm in the forecast!
But gates will be locked up till next season
Personally right now starts my favorite rides of the year
Warm temps(sometimes tee shirt weather) but the beauty of the creeks and waterfalls are gorgeous!
I’m sure I’ll be sharing pictures for another month and will post here so y’all can ride vicariously through me!
It’s been a great winter
I’m pretty sure this will be my last season of riding with my battle with ALS
My body is giving up on me but not my spirit so stay tuned, ya never know
Check out my live cam and see the snowpack melt and maybe grow as the forecast is looking interesting

Please don't drink and ride.
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 31 March 2026
This is a sad day having to say that it's the last day of the season. Keep in mind if you are riding today the bridge will be closed tonight. I've even had Houghton start taking the snow off the sidewalk during the day.
