Harbor Springs Trail Report – 01/26
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 01/26
Current Trail Conditions
We took the west side loop last night, trails 710, 71, 705, 704, & 721. The trails are flat but we are running out of snow, I would say conditions are similar to late season riding. We ran into a group that rode almost the entire trail system & they said the trails look about the same everywhere.
Unfortunately we have paused our grooming operations until we get more snow & the temperatures drop back down.
With that being said the 7th Annual Vintage Ride will still go on!! The ride may be cut a little short if we run out of snow towards Mackinaw but it’s still going to be a great time. Show off your sleds at Beach’s Up North Tavern starting at 10am, ride leaves at noon!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light snow chances linger today, mainly across eastern Upper Michigan, with highs in the mid to upper 30s to low 40s. A stretch of quieter weather follows this weekend into early next week, featuring partly sunny skies and temperatures moderating into the upper 30s and mid 40s. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryLight snow chances linger today, mainly across eastern Upper Michigan, with highs in the mid to upper 30s to low 40s.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light lake effect snow showers will taper off this morning, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies in place across northern Michigan today with highs in the mid to upper 20s. Upcoming temperatures will tease winter nearing its end with highs expected to reach into the 30s and low 40s heading into next week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLight lake effect snow showers will taper off this morning, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies in place across northern Michigan today with highs in the mid to upper 20s.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> We know you'll pass by this post for snowfall today, but here on February 12th, 2026, it's quite a reflective moment to see just how far we have come this winter. Just a couple weeks ago it was lake effect snow every single day. Today, a light band of 1-3" near Munising is all we will need to write home about. We even tossed in some humor for those not in a designated snowfall zone. A couple slick spots will pop up along M-28 near Munising, and perhaps around Petoskey if a longer lake effect band happens to form, but this is more unlikely than likely.
Enjoy your rather snow-free day here in Michigan in early February. If you've read this far, comment your favorite memory of winter to this point.

PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Groomer report February 9 2026
Josh groomed 76 to 765 then to trail 7 the railroad grade. From there he went to Weber Lake on 765 and 76. Then groomed 76 back to Chandler Hill Road. #petoskey #snowphotos
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three groomers out last night & everything was groomed other than the cross village loop. Overall the trails are in good shape but we really need some fresh snow. Warmer temperatures are on the way for this weekend which will really take a toll on the conditions & the ability to groom. We will keep everyone up to date as it gets closer. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotosWe had all three groomers out last night & everything was groomed other than the cross village loop.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow and possible wintry mix will impact northern Michigan through Tuesday. Heaviest snow is expected across eastern Upper Michigan overnight into early Tuesday. A light glaze of ice is possible, though there is high uncertainty that icing will occur.
