The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open. The groomers are out and working on the trails and conditions are good to very good. Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails, they have the right of way!!

Watch out for a temporary re-route on Trail 3, north of Mohawk because of some logging being done.

The protective mat on the Portage Lift Bridge between Houghton and Hancock has been installed.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.

Please be aware that if you snowmobile on U.S. Coast Guard property you could face federal trespass charges.

Just got back from a wonderful Christmas Day snowmobile ride. The trails are outstanding and we only saw five sleds during our two hour ride. We stayed south of M-55 and were on the White Pine Trail and found the trails to be good to excellent…mostly excellent as far snow conditions are concerned. All trails were super smooth. Where the trail is in the dense forest and the snow cover isn’t as heavy we found less base and some snirt. We got another 3-4 inches of fluff last night and throughout the day. We have so much snow it looks more like February around here than December.

The groomers took a little time off to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with their families but starting tomorrow they will all be out there again running their regular routes and schedules.
