Indian River Trail Report – 01/04

The great outdoors looks and feels like winter today. Friday night’s big snow and temperatures dropping into the teens have it looking like a normal January day out there. The wooded trails are very good. Riders report only a trace of snirt in some corners. The railroad grade North of Indian River continues to have a very thin base mixes with snirt and gravel in some exposed spots. The farther south you travel in town the more snow we have. Although winds are calm today we’re only at about 11 degrees. The predicted high is 14 so bundle up if you’re taking to the trails. Traffic appears light this morning. Groomers are scheduled to run tonight but at least one is sick, so we’ll do the best we can. Again, conditions on the wooded trails are good so riding will be enjoyable. Until tomorrow…have a great afternoon.

Last January we took delivery of a new grooming drag. The State approved our purchase and this drag was custom-made for us by the experts at Dubie Welding & Fabrication in Gaylord. We’re glad to support local, Michigan business with this purchase. And since this drag was for with State dollars it’s nice to know your trail permit money is coming back around. Support snowmobiling and trail development by purchasing your trail permit today! Available at snowmobile dealers and other locations around the state.

If you’re interested in supporting local grooming efforts, visit www.justgroomit.org for details on joining the Indian River Snowmobile Grooming club with a membership donation. We have hats and t-shirts (short & long sleeve) for sale too. Even when we can’t groom we still have operational expenses like insurance, two-way radio communication subscriptions, maintenance of our new grooming building and more. Thanks to member donations we’re almost done with interior/finish construction at our new equipment barn! We now store and can work on the grooming equipment only yards from the DNR trailhead. Your support makes all the difference! Thank you–
