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 video.nest.com/live/gbiim7CnxN#keweenaw#snowphotos...

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. ☠️ Stretch LYNX Ambassador Team Timberline Western UP Trail Reports Web Cam video.nest.com/live/4BKmS6XRiT#keweenaw#snowphotos31 March 2026 This is a sad day having to say that it's the last day of the season.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 04/01
❄ WHAT A SEASON ❄
This time last year, we weren’t even sure that we would have a season after the historic ice storm that destroyed much of our trail system.
Fast forward to now… we just wrapped up a RECORD season! For the first time in years, we were able to groom pretty consistently from the very first weekend all the way to the end. What an incredible turnaround.
A HUGE thank you to our Groomer Operators: Bryan, Dale, Chance, Cody, Evan, Jim, Nick, & Thomas — you guys absolutely crushed it this year! ?
Thank you to our amazing volunteers who keep everything else running: Angie, Dave P, Dave T, Dean, Greta, Justine, Mike, Pat, Rob, & Wayne — we couldn’t do this without you!
Thank you to all of our Business Sponsors: Audie’s Restaurant, Clyde’s Place, Chubbs Marina, Cooks Hardware, County Wide Powersports, Cross Village Mart, Beachs Up North Tavern, Moose Jaw Junction, Northwoods Family Restaurant, & Spankys for your continued support — you are a huge part of what makes this all possible.
And to everyone who rode our trails, came to events, donated, or supported the club in any way — THANK YOU. We truly appreciate every one of you and can only hope next season is just as good as this one was!
There’s still snow to get out and ride on state trails, but all gates on our private property sections are now closed.
? Reminder: We have a meeting tomorrow at 7pm at the Harbor Springs Groomer Barn.
We are always looking for more volunteers — if you’re interested in getting involved, we’d love to see some new faces!
Please bring pole saws, chainsaws, loopers, gloves, safety gear.
We will be splitting up into groups to cover as much ground as possible. Around 4pm we will head up to Clyde’s Place in Carp lake for pizza & appetizers.
Please mark yourself as “going” so we know how many people to expect. #harborsprings #petoskey... See MoreSee Less
