Temps were 16 degrees this morning groomers have been out overnight and today. Trails are in excellent shape except we have one water spot on the Kinross to Raco trail. You can go around it on your sled but the beaver are keeping the water flowing so it won’t freeze. We are going to remove a portion of the dam to change the flow and hopefully it will freeze.

We now have a marked trail that will be groomed on occasion to get to parts and service at Chippewa Motors. it comes into the back of their lot from the east side of M-129 when you come out of the woods.
