Our trails overall need more snow. The forecast for this coming week is temps in the 20’s but not a whole lot of snow.

Gogebic Range Trail Authority Report

Overall conditions are poor. Trails have not been groomed in a week due to temperatures.
Our trails will require a lot of rework to get them back in shape. We will keep you posted.

Lake Gogebic Area Groomers Report

It is finally getting colder and we have some snow in the forecast an inch here and there. Our overall condition of the trails is poor. The groomers are good to go and have started heading out where possible. Trail 102 where the water problem was, now has water running down the trail, but our drivers said you can get around it without getting wet. Use caution on this trail and watch for the water. Trail 8 west is looking very wet-early season conditions. Please do not try and ride the ditch along this stretch as you will end up in more water. Best to try to avoid this trail for right now. Just keep in mind that there will be wet areas reopened up on almost all trails so keep speeds down and watch for changing conditions.

Streams, rivers, and swampy areas are not safe at this time, please avoid.

U.P. Thunder Riders of Watersmeet Trail Report

Conditions are fair/poor. It is rideable but it’s like the good, the bad and the ugly out there. You will encounter icy corners, some dirt spots, and wet areas but you should be able to get around them pretty easy. You will also encounter miles of beautiful snow covered trails so it is a mixed bag. Grooming is suspended at this time but it won’t take much to get back out on the trails.

Trail 3 North is fair

Trail 3 South to WI is fair/poor

Trail 2 is fair/poor

Trail 13 South is fair/poor.
Hang in there. Please stay on marked trails. Riding on unmarked trails can result in the club losing easement for that trail and can possibly get yourself a ticket.

It’s finally getting colder; we’ve had a little bit of snow with more in the forecast over the next few days. The forecast is calling for about 1-3 inches tonight, a possible additional 3” on Friday with 2 to 4” on Saturday. Temps are expected to be dropping more as we head into the weekend, as well. The groomers are good to go and have started heading out where possible. One report back to us so far is on Trail 102 where we had a wet hold previously at the north end there now appears to be water running down the trail. Our driver says you can ride around it without getting wet but you need to watch for this problem. Trail 8 west is looking very wet – early season conditions. Please do not try to ride in the ditch along this stretch as you will end up in even more water. Best to try to avoid this trail for right now. Groomers will be heading out on all of our trails to access the damage from our warm up and to groom wherever they can. Just keep in mind that there will be wet areas reopened up on almost all trails so keep speeds down and watch for changing conditions.

Streams, rivers and swampy areas are not safe at this time, please avoid.

As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticketed. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side and as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic.
