Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/01
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club — Today is the day! Unfortunately, we have not received the snow that other areas have. There is not enough snow to groom without excessive equipment wear. ⚠️ RIDE WITH CAUTION ⚠️ You will encounter closed gates, water across the trail in several areas, tree limbs down and generally VERY early season riding conditions. Keep the snow dances going and we will update when we are able to begin grooming. Reminder that currently Trail 122 is closed as well as Trail 132W and Trail 3 has a section that is shared with logging traffic. Trail 133 is also closed due to deer hunting and water areas not frozen, we will update when it’s available for use. Picture of Trail 3 in Mohawk. <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club –> Early Season Trail Updates: Trail 132W – Closed for logging until the ground freezes. You can still access Lac La Belle via 132E. It is signed for this closure. DO NOT GO AROUND THE SIGNS! Trail 3 – We will have a portion shared logging until the ground freezes. The area will be plowed and is signed. OBEY THE SPEED LIMIT AND YIELD TO ALL LOGGING EQUIPMENT! Equipment may be present any time, any day. Near misses could / will result in the trail being closed until logging is complete. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL AND YEILD TO ANY EQUIPMENT! We’ll update as soon as we can, keep the snow dances going we need it! #keweenaw <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club >> 2024 Season Opening Notes: Derrick Grigsby Is trail 15 going north out of Baraga going to be opened this year? I read they are replacing a bridge. We have a trip planned for that area in February I assume the state will partial refund our stickers. If the state sells us access to trails from certain dates then the person that paid should be the one to decide to use them or not. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> This weekend will stay mostly quiet with dry weather persisting until Sunday with our next system. Some light snow is possible with some rain mixing in over the south and eastern portions of the U.P.

We need 1-3’ of snow depending on the trail and what lies beneath that snow- rock, sand, water/mud. Do those snow dances! We’re packed up and ready for when there is adequate snow!
Portage Lake Lift Bridge Opening will be weather dependent AND we await the return of the Ranger III from safety inspections in Duluth. There can be no crossing without the mat in place - safety, equipment, and bridge grates are among the reasons.
Trail 133 - Closed until snow levels are high enough, water holes are frozen, and property owners approve due to hunting.
Logging - We have active logging this year at the start of the season impacting Trail 124 and Trail 3 between Phoenix and Delaware finishing no later than 12/22. You can use trail 130 to bypass the trail 3 logging. Trail 122 will get you into Gay.
Grooming will begin when we have enough snow and the traffic dictates. Expect early season conditions with possible wet spots, tree limbs, and possibly gates closed if groomers haven’t been out yet.
HUGE news as well, Trail 3 was officially opened yesterday from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden and will be available for use for the first time since the Fathers Day Flood of 2018.
Keep an eye out for updates!
Thanks,
