Baldwin Area Trail Report – 01/23

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club >> 01/23

1/23 AM Update: Well it appears the snow dances we’ve been doing have paid off! We received around 6” throughout our trail system last night and 27” of new snow out in Hart!

We will have all 4 groomers out today covering all 162 miles of trail! Please use caution if you are riding today as groomers could be out at any time. If you come across hazards on the trail please help our crew of volunteers out by removing large limbs and small trees if you can safely do so.

If you come across large hazards, such as trees, please report them here and we will take care of them while out grooming. Please ride safe, ride right, and ride sober. ❄️

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club >> 12/31 Update: The rail trail from Baldwin to Reed City was groomed last night along with sections north and west of Baldwin (3, 30, 35, 340).

Please ride right and ride safe. Enjoy the last day of 2025 and have a happy, safe, New Year’s celebration!
We will be meeting at the clubhouse at 9am tomorrow (Jan. 1st) and heading out to open trail 19 to Hart. We could use all the help we can get. We are planning on trailering sleds out to near Candy Cane Lane along trail 19 and working from there. Reach out if you can help. #baldwinarea #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club >> 12/30 Update: the middle trails, 3, 320, and 324 south of Baldwin to woodland park were groomed last night and will be again tonight. The north and rail are being groomed tonight by Dan and Chester with the 6195r (Hart tractor) to give it a shakedown due to all the track issues, before we send it over there on January 1st. Newaygo had a small section groomed today, but there were some trees too big for us to handle alone that were blocking the trail near the Newaygo Sports park. Think snow!❄️ #baldwinarea #snowpotos ... See MoreSee Less

IRONWOOD – WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority – ORV & Snowmobile Club >> 01/23

This is the trail from Bessemer to Marenisco and back. Thin areas along the way from 2 inches to 4 inches. Some small rocks were brought to the surface. We need more snow. A lot of the trail is brown means we’re getting to the base.

IRONWOOD - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club >> Happy New Year!!
We are unfortunately down one machine. The Tucker is down until we get a new track.
Good news is we have Carter and Jeremiah spending their New Year’s out grooming.
Trail 2 from the Wisconsin/Michigan boarder to Marenisco. We heard from a club member that trail 2 through Morgan Mine is holding up so we will hit that another night!
Trail 8 will also get done!
11s is still unsafe for any groomer to go down. PLEASE ride with caution!
We hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year!!
Video creds: Carter

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> URGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland. (Thanks for making the run, Wyatt!) Sunday's storm brought down more trees and the trail is all but impassable again.
Also - 906 Services Inc. is pulling a sled out of this waterhole as I post this. Last week's warm-up wrecked the ice bridge we built and there is no bypass around the water.
PLEASE stay off this trail until we are able to get out there again and do some more repair work.😫 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosURGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland.

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Happy New Years Eve all! A quick update from the Marenisco section of GAG. Crews out working hard and all of the trails in our area are in good shape overall. There are still many low branches and whips, it’s getting better but a slow process. Here is the trail by trail update:
Trail 1-Groomed smooth heading south between Trail 2 and Presque Isle. A few branches and whips but getting better. Trail 1 between Marenisco and Trail 100 same condition. Trail 1 heading west and north from the 1/100 intersection is still closed due to logging.
Trail 2-Groomed and smooth through Marenisco to the groomer turnaround.
Trail 13-Rerouted from the 13/100 intersection to head north to Camp 6 road and then east/southeast to the Trail 13/2 intersection. Groomed and fairly smooth with a couple water hole/hazard section. Also a few sections with many low branch’s/whips so use caution. Trail 13 is closed heading southeast from the 13/100 intersection due to logging and has not been groomed or brushed.
Trail 100-Groomed and pretty smooth with a couple of minor rough sections and one minor water hole. Some low branches/whips but overall in good condition for this time of the year.
Hope everyone has a great end of 2025 and beginning of 2026! #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> The last Trail Report for 2025!
Last night Wyatt ran Trail 12 from the NCSC Clubhouse in Ontonagon to Trail 1 thru White Pine, Silver City and to the junction with Trail 11. He and Tractor Mac played lumberjack on Trail 11 all the way to the Junction of 102. Looks like that will continue to be a challenge this season.
Mike C did an up and back starting on Trail 12 out of Hamilton's North Coast Adventures to Trail 101 and then on to Trail 13 to the junction of Trail 137.
The water holes are starting to freeze up, but The LP Walsh Road section of Trail 12 still has running water in the swales. Our guys have built snow bridges, but many are one groom wide. Ride this section with caution, and STAY ON TRAIL.
Trail 1 along Lake Superior is still thin, but improving with each snowfall.
Other than that, most of our trails are in good to very good condition. Ride right and stay safe, Sledheads. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosThe last Trail Report for 2025!

WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED 12/30/25- Groomers were finally able to get out today and groom our entire system and clear all big obstacles that were on or blocking the trails. Both groomers were out 9 to 10 hours to get through everything but still expect some mirror wackers as it will take a while to get all them. We got anywhere from probably 12 to 20 inches of snow so it is going to take a few days before the trails are really going to set up. We will be on a more consistent grooming schedule moving forward as long as weather cooperates and groomer drivers are available. Big thanks to some of the snowmobilers that stopped and help us clear some of the big trees and if you see something on the trails please try to pick it up to help our drivers out. Remember Ride Right and Ride Safe. #watersmeet #westernup #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less
