We’ve received about a foot of snow over the last few days with snow in the forecast every day this week! The groomers have been out and while the trails are in “good” condition, there are still some icy spots so use caution. Trail conditions will continue to improve as we continue to receive more snow! Sledding season is here….so get packed up and come on up! This is what you’ve been waiting for!

WARNING: Although as a rule, we never comment about riding on Lake Gogebic itself, as the DNR (the sponsor of our grant money) does not recognize trails over open water – thus there are no trail markings on the lake. However, we’re experiencing a first ever problem on the lake that we want to make sure we inform our riders about for their safety. We have reports of two large holes of open water between the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern (at the northwest corner of the lake) and Fishtales Resort (approx. 6 miles south of the Hoop on the west shore). There are reports, also, of ice heaves on either side of these open holes. Please use caution and ride slow enough to see far ahead of you. These conditions could change rapidly so please use caution.

FYI – the Bergland Mobil has closed, so plan your fueling accordingly.

Lots and lots of snow! We’ve added another 4+ inches today. Our guests (7 different groups)are saying the trails are “great to excellent.” Multiple people- “I don’t know if they can get any better.”

Halfway Lake Resort – Newberry Area – January 19, 2013

The only “not good”(because I have to be honest)- one person stated that last evening trail 8 from Deerpark to Grand Marais had moguls but was good for the most part. The rest of the group was happy with their ride. When I quizzed others they said you might hit a few rough spots but overall they could not believe how awesome it has been.
We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry and 7 miles S of Pinestump Jnct. Between Grand Marais and Paradise.
