Traverse City Trail Report – 11/30

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 11/30

We have been out on the trails the past two days finishing up the signage and they are now complete. Thanks to Eric, David, Dave, John, Bob, Steve and Jeff for volunteering their time to get this done. Now all we need is cold weather and snow. We receive 9 inches earlier this week.

However, today we had sunshine and 46 degree temps and lost the majority of the snow. It’s time to do those dances. Hopefully we’ll have a great year!

Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/01

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club – 12/01

2024 Season Opening Notes:

We need 1-3’ of snow depending on the trail and what lies beneath that snow- rock, sand, water/mud. Do those snow dances! We’re packed up and ready for when there is adequate snow!

Portage Lake Lift Bridge Opening will be weather dependent AND we await the return of the Ranger III from safety inspections in Duluth. There can be no crossing without the mat in place – safety, equipment, and bridge grates are among the reasons.
Trail 133 – Closed until snow levels are high enough, water holes are frozen, and property owners approve due to hunting.

Logging – We have active logging this year at the start of the season impacting Trail 124 and Trail 3 between Phoenix and Delaware finishing no later than 12/22. You can use trail 130 to bypass the trail 3 logging. Trail 122 will get you into Gay.
Grooming will begin when we have enough snow and the traffic dictates. Expect early season conditions with possible wet spots, tree limbs, and possibly gates closed if groomers haven’t been out yet.

HUGE news as well, Trail 3 was officially opened yesterday from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden and will be available for use for the first time since the Fathers Day Flood of 2018.

Keep an eye out for updates!
Thanks,
The KSC Board

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 19 January 2026
We received another 6.5 inches this morning and it's still snowing at 10:00am. Pretty much white out conditions all morning and it's still very poor visibility.
Stay warm it's only 1° right now.
I thought I'd share a few picks from my ride down 109 yesterday while I grooming.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> W❄️W! What an amazing week it has been on the trails!
The first half of the week was unusually quiet as far as traffic and the trails seriously couldn’t have been better! As we move into the weekend, traffic is definitely picking up but trails have still been in great shape! Huge thank you to all of the clubs and groomer operators!
Ryan Bennet and Nikki McGill set out to enjoy some of the trails this morning from Krupps Resort and they weren’t disappointed! Ryan shared these photos with us and said, “Have had a GREAT day so far! Ran down 3 to 12, over to 174 down to Sidnaw. Back up 109 through the Sturgeon River Gorge, ran up to Church in the Valley Bar. Will be taking 109 back to Twin Lakes. What a great 160+ mile day!”
This weekend and upcoming week’s forecast includes fresh snow and colder temps each day! Just what ever sledder ordered!
Thanks for sharing Ryan! #keweenaw #snowphotos
