Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 01/02
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/02 The hard fast truth is….. there is really no measurable snow in the forecast and the temps are hovering over freezing for periods of the day 😩 <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western & Southern UP Trail Reports – 01/01 TRAIL REPORT NORTH OF HOUGHTON Trail 124 remains closed for logging. Trails 134/135 to Copper Harbor, 134 would be the best choice for traveling to Copper Harbor, as 135 needs more snow for better conditions. 134 to High Rock is being groomed today but early reports are more snow is needed. <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 21 March 2026 KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 22 March 2026 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Tonight through Sunday, light showers hang around as temperatures remain around the freezing mark.

Some dry weather is then expected Monday ahead of the next system towards the midweek period next week. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight. A clipper will spread a mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain across the area this morning, changing to all rain from west to east as temperatures climb above freezing in the afternoon, reaching as high as the mid 50s in the west. A cold front then drops across the U.P. and brings another round of mixed precip tonight, changing to all snow towards Sunday morning. Generally expect minimal snow amounts across most of the U.P., but some spots in the Keweenaw and the east could pick up 1-3” through Sunday morning. A glaze of ice will also be possible in a few spots this morning and again tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight.

Adam Garvey
agreed that the area is in need of more snow. Adam felt that the trails are in fair condition overall (due to lack of snow) and poor in certain areas such as a good part of The Eagle’s Loop- Trail 130, the first 3 miles towards Copper Harbor after going to the left on Trail 3 at the “y” of 3/134 and about the last 3 miles on the way out to High Rock Bay that he felt were in poor shape due to simply not having enough snow. Most riders we talked to agreed with this review.
A reminder of the water hole that was filled in on the way out to High Rock still has dirt exposed (shown in photo) so please ride this area along with all trails, of course with caution⚠️ AND get those snow dance games stepped up a notch!
Once again a huge thank you to all the amazing Groomer Operators, doing all that is possible with the limited amount of snow! We are all SO appreciative of your hard work! …

First of all, Happy New Year to all! Sorry for no update yesterday, groomers were out in full force all day!
Trail 3 from Mohawk to Clear Lake is in decent early season shape. TRAIL 3 IS OPEN FROM CLEAR LAKE JUNCTION OVER BROCKWAY MOUNTAIN! Gates are open but conditions are thin.
Trail 122 to Gay is thin to fair, with some water hazards operators are working to repair.
Trail 130 to Eagle River/Eagle Harbor was groomed for the first time yesterday, conditions were fair with a good amount of snow in the higher elevations, but thinning near the lakeshore.
Trail 132 East/West to Lac La Belle are in good early season conditions.
Trail 17 from Mohawk to Hancock is in fair early season condition, with thinner spots between Kearsarge and Mohawk.
All trails are still in early season shape and bumpy in spots due to high traffic. Ride Carefully and enjoy!
Also for those not familiar with the regulations, ANY WHEELED VEHICLES ARE PROHIBITED ON TRAIL. We have had two incidents of cars on our trails already this year!
Stay safe, stay right.

I met this awesome group today at the Mosquito during my Meet and Greet. So I sent them down trail 109 to Alston and the second pic is what they made for me to enjoy when I groom again. Thanks for supporting Western UP Trail Reports and I hope you find me next year when your up riding.

Wishful thinking that this will get us back in shape, but stranger things have happened. I'll keep you all informed on how this turns out in the morning.
