Harbor Springs Trail Report – 12/07
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 12/07
We got roughly 3” of snow yesterday with a few more coming today. We started panning on Thursday & depending on the night time temperatures will resume tonight or tomorrow night.
We are off to a great start for the season but please remember that it’s early season conditions, we don’t have enough snow to fill in all the ruts, cover all the rocks, and the water holes are still open and deep. Ride safe out there!
⚠️ Loggers have plowed trail 705, Moose Jaw Road, and part of 704, Teal road, so avoid these areas (See map below in red). If you’re traveling to Moose Jaw Junction you’ll want to take trail 71 straight to 704, & turn onto 721.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Happy New Year!!
We had a groomer out on the grade (Trail 7) last night and will have groomers heading out to groom all of our trails tonight.
Please ride with caution on Trail 704 Melody Lane & Gregory Road, 71/710 Cross Village Loop, & the 710 Spur from Big Pine to Warwick Road as those sections have not been groomed since the wind storm. Other than those areas the trails are in great shape! Ride safe!!
⚠️🪵 Active logging operation on Trail 71 from Brutus road to the Alanson Trail intersection.
⚠️🛑 Upcoming trail closure: Trail 7 (the railroad grade) will be closed from Trails End Road to Cadillac St in Mackinaw City starting Monday 1/5 for 3-5 days while soil testing is conducted. We will update everyone once that section re-opens. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating lake effect snow continues today into Thursday, focusing across the typical snow belts of northern Michigan. Wind gusts of 30-40+ mph this afternoon and evening will lead to low visibility and patchy blowing snow, especially across open areas – leading to hazardous travel conditions at times. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryAccumulating lake effect snow continues today into Thursday, focusing across the typical snow belts of northern Michigan.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three groomers out last night & they sure did have their work cut out for them. Unfortunately with the amount of trees down we were unable to get through the entire trail system. It took one opperator four hours to make it only 8 miles. The only areas that didn’t get groomed was Trail 704 Melody Lane & Gregory Road, 71/710 Cross Village Loop, & the 710 Spur from Big Pine to Warwick Road.
The trails are in good shape & it’s a great day to get out and ride. Please use caution in the non groomed areas as there are likely trees down and big drifts. We are hoping to have someone available tonight to groom the remaning sections.
⚠️🪵 There is still an active logging operation on Trail 71 from Brutus road to the Alanson Trail intersection.
