KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 12/18
Nick Heelein just spent the last two days riding the Keweenaw and shared these photos with us!
Nick said, “Had a great time on the trails the last two days, even got to ride on freshly groomed trails last night!
Trails were in good condition with the exception of the ones leading to Eagle Harbor/Eagle River/and Gay(limited snow and wet areas) We enjoyed stops at the The Mariner North, Luigi’s Bar Calumet, The Gay Bar, Maple Leaf/ American Legion Post 291, and Quincy’s Dining Co!”
Thanks for sharing Nick!
A few reminders:
? The Portage Lake Lift Bridge has not yet been opened for snowmobile crossing. This means you must trailer across to ride north or south of the bridge.
? Trail 124 is temporarily closed for logging – latest update from the club now states “Tentatively will open around 1/15/25”
⚠ Trail 133 is listed as being open as of 12/15/24 according to the club however, they warn “Trail 133 is now open, but has not been groomed yet. Please ride with caution and expect closed gates and other obstacles.”
NOTE: it appears a groomer is heading down trail 133 as we post this. Hopefully will have further update from the club in the morning!
⚠ There is a reroute on trail 3 (south of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge) in Twin Lakes. Please follow the signs for the trail and refrain from riding along side of the highway.
‼ Thankfully, we are under a current winter weather advisory and some fresh snow is forecasted to fall over the area.
✅ Download the Groomer Tracker app and subscribe to the clubs where you ride! For only $10 (of which $5 comes directly back to the club) you can have up to the moment grooming operation information!
