Benzie Area Trail Report – 12/05
BENZIE / MANISTEE UPDATE via Benzie Manistee Snowbirds – 12/05 Good new everyone, we have enough snow now and will be sending out our groomers tomorrow to start panning and grooming our trail system. Following is important information about our trail system: • There is active logging activity impacting trail 3 north of US31 just past Maple City Hwy. The groomed trail has been graded down to dirt and there are logging trucks using this section of the trail. I would recommend that you do not use this section of trail at this time. According to the DNR, most of this activity should be completed in about a week. • The private property gate in Bear Lake on Chief road will remain closed until December 16. This is at the request of property owners. This is the trail segment leading into the Bear Lake Saddle Up gas station. <> Benzie-Manistee Snowmobile Club Facebook Page >>>> Website: www.benziemanisteesnowbirds.com <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light snow chances linger today, mainly across eastern Upper Michigan, with highs in the mid to upper 30s to low 40s.

We’ve been out grooming the last two days during the cold weather, and the trails are shaping up very nicely.
With the warmer temperatures moving in over the next few days, the likelihood of the trails getting soft and messy is pretty high. Once the cooler temps return next week, we’ll be back out grooming to get everything back to the quality we like to see.
Please hang in there through the weekend, as the trails may not be in their usual condition.
Snowbirds clubhouse will be open this Saturday 2/14 10am-4pm. We hope to see you there! Wendy and Mike will be there serving tacos! Thank you for your continued support! Ride safe! #benzie #snowphotos
