LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 01/08
Marenisco area crews out tonight working Trail 1S from Marenisco to Presque Isle. The base is very thin but we tried to smooth it out as best possible. The beaver dam that we recently took down drained nicely but left a good size trench so use caution if traveling on this trail. The beavers looked to be retaliating by dropping some fresh trees across the trail which we cleaned up this evening. When we get some more snow we will start working on a snow bridge for the flowing creek. We also noted that recently someone decided to use a section of the trail with an ATV while it was still soft. Cleaned up and filled the ruts as best possible but there are still some decent ruts so again, use caution. Overall the base of Trail 1S is thin and there are exposed rocks, gravel and dirt in spots but is rideable and fairly smooth. The grade (Trail 1S and 2 combined) is in good condition and should be rock hard by tomorrow morning. Enjoy what we have, there is still decent riding to be had!
