Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 01/24
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 01/24
Brrrrrr! It’s been some REALLY 🥶 cold & ❄️ snowy days on the trails, but the temps are slowly starting to become a bit more tolerable!
Trails are in really in great shape heading into the weekend!
A familiar face to the Keweenaw, Don Wineland and crew have been riding the area this week. Today they stayed North of Houghton and did a nice loop that included a ride on the Valley Sno Drifters Dreamland Trails!
Don said, “We rode Mohawk to Houghton/Hancock on trail 3 & 17. We then took trail 3 to Lake Linden and all were very good! We rode the trail off 122 down to Dreamland Restaurant & Bar for a good meal. The Dreamland Trail was singe track in some areas but was in great shape! We then took the Dreamland Trail from Dreamland to Dollar Bay – all good. We then took trail 3 back to Mohawk, it was a little choppy from Lake Linden to Calumet but good after Calumet back to Mohawk. We met the groomer at Copoer City. We also stopped at Maple Leaf off of trail 122.”
Thanks for sharing Don!
We have had nunerous messages about the High Rock Bay spur trail (trail 136) asking why it has not been groomed and when it will get groomed….We can only reply that according to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club “There is not enough snow yet to groom Trails 151 (into Eagle River)and 136 to High Rock Bay”
Please download the Groomer Tracker and subscribe to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trail system and you will have real time grooming information about High Rock Bay trail and all other trails!
⚠️ the snowy days have been wonderful, however, visibility has been extremely difficult at times. We are lifting the rider in prayer, that was involved in a single sled accident today on trail 3, around Twin Lakes. PLEASE ride with extreme caution at all times and especially with limited visibility of falling snow and snow dust.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A high impact winter storm is set to impact the U.P. tonight through tomorrow. Blizzard conditions are expected to develop, resulting in areas near zero visibility, especially near Lake Superior where gusts upwards of 60 mph are likely.
Important update: Trends in storm track have resulted in a southeast shift of the heaviest snowfall axis. Areas of 1 to 2 feet will be common from the high terrain of the central UP eastward along and north of M-28.
Strong northerly winds may result in downed trees and power outages. Please take extreme caution if you must travel over the next 24 hours. Stay safe! Check in on your neighbors!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 28 December 2025
3:00pm and we have rain in Houghton but it's starting to snow in Toivola. The temp is still holding steady at 34.6 and I'm hoping the temp drops soon and keeps snowing all night.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 28 December 2025
Four days of warm weather and a fair amount of traffic took its toll on the trails. It's what we call a surgery snow that's hard to work with but you mix it with the fresh stuff that's coming and it's good to go, I hope.

WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~(Updated) Snowfall Forecast Sunrise Sunday-Sunrise Tuesday~
A major winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to portions of the region. Most of the accumulating snow will be along and north of I-80. No matter how much snow will fall, there will be strong northwest winds that will create blowing and drifting snow. Travel north of I-80 will be near impossible at times. Some road closures are possible along and north of I-90 given greater accumulation and more persistent blizzard-like conditions. Heaviest snowfall totals through sunrise Tuesday (there will be more after) will be along Lake Superior. Snowfall rates could exceed 2" an hour at times due to lake enhancement. Expect over a foot in most areas along the lakeshore before dropping as you get closer to the WI border. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey~OUTDATED~
