KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/19
Sean Diederich is back up riding and stopped in at the Rousseau Bar today! You know how the saying goes…..”It’s never too far…to the Rousseau Bar” and when you have great trails getting there, makes it even better!
Sean shared these photos and comments on the trails, “Never too far! The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club did an awesome job last night. South of Mass City is bumpy….. Ran down to Rockland and was gonna go down to Bergland but turned around. Hopefully they can get out and groom everywhere tonight. The trail to Rousseau is also really good and smooth.”
Thanks for sharing Sean! I’m sure tomorrows riding will be better as it seems all clubs will be out there tonight!
‼Note: The conditions l of any trails right now are a direct reflection of the unfortunate weather conditions NOTHING to do with grooming operations! All clubs are doing everything they can with what they have to work with. For those that don’t know, the area came off of a very busy holiday weekend to rain and warm temps early this week…grooming operations had to be paused by most clubs and were just starting to resume last night!

TRAIL REPORT 1/19/2023 via Fletchy’s Otter Belly Lodge
Went out to check out the trails today and here it is! There are few dangerous water holes on trail 130. The first one is just east of the spur about 1/2 mile. The smaller but more dangerous of the two, because you don’t see it coming, is just before crossing 41 when 130 dead ends into 3 on the eastern section by Delaware. Outside of these holes the trails are pretty moguled out and need more snow. As you head further into the keweenaw trails 135 and 134 are in excellent shape. Near eagle harbor we have received around 2 inches so far and the groomers have not been out.
We will not be allowing our rental snowmobiles to travel east on trail 130 out of eagle harbor until these water holes are filled in! Thanks eveyone and ride with caution!
