Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 12/08

Even with some pretty extreme cold temperatures we continue to have problems with mud on quite a few areas on our trails. The good news is that the groomers have been out – where it’s possible to groom – and we have more cold predicted through this upcoming week along with snow. Keep in mind that the majority of our trails run through forests, not roads, giving us a different set of challenges than some other trail areas in the U.P. At this present time most of our trails are in poor condition…hopefully that will be improving through this upcoming week. If you are planning on coming up make sure to pack long johns and layer up; we’re talking high’s of 0 degrees for a couple of days this week! Also be mindful that a bridge on trail 8, just east of Bergland is out and it is marked. The trail will be rerouted over the dam at the north end of the lake where the trail was a couple years ago. With varied trail reports coming out from other sources the info can get confusing…just remember – George is the Trail Boss, I am the Secretary/Treasurer of Gogebic Area Grooming and as such our groomer drivers report directly to us. We also take reports from riders in the area; between the two I will always give you honest reports every time. These are the only official trail reports from the Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce as well as Gogebic Area Grooming. That’s all for now from Carolyn at the Hoop. I will keep you posted as often as conditions change. For additional information about the Lake Gogebic area we invite you to visit the only official website of the Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce at www.LakeGogebicArea.com or call us at 1-888-464-3242 (888-GOGEBIC). Looking forward to seeing you all up again soon!
