Gaylord Area Trail Report – 01/13
Gaylord Bureau –
January 13, 2025
11:45 a.m
We’re currently under a winter weather advisory and it looks like the flurries will stick around throughout the week. The trails are holding steady in fair condition, with grooming set to resume once we get a bit more snow. Trails are a little choppy for now, but stay tuned as that will likely change with the snow headed our way. Enjoy the ride and stay safe!
Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord.
A few things to remember about groomers:
– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way.
– Please move off the trail when groomers are coming and allow them to safely pass.
– If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass.
– Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night.
– Have fun and stay safe!

It’s noon on monday in downtown Frederic, there was a little snowfall overnight but I have seen no sleds out and about today. Yesterday it was slow around frederic but I checked the first trailhead parking 2 miles west of grayling on 72 and there were only 4 trucks there. Then I went out in the hills just past the Black Bear Inn and that far west parking lot about 12 miles from grayling and there must have been 30 trucks and trailers in there. It was jam packed and that is because all the snow is north and west of here. Lets see if it keeps coming this week. I wish we really needed the loader to pile up the snow with. Thanks for checking in. Pete

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Swamp II Bar & Restaurant in Frederic MI >> Today we had a gentleman call and was wondering how the trails are... we asked 2 snowmobilers and they said actually pretty good, they were coming from Higgins and heading to Gaylord next.... I told the guy I would take some pictures of the trails on my way out and post them. Here is trail7 in front of the Swamp II Bar & Restaurant in Frederic MI and also the trailhead and Trail off 612 in Fredeic...
Weather is always moody, but calling for rain tomorrow and snow every day after! 4 day weekend coming up! #gaylord #snowphotos
I always start in Fredric from sledheads, but trails are always terrible until I get to the kalkaska county line. I'm thinking it's time to ride elsewhere.
Trail 7 from Fredrick to Gaylord is always a mess unless you have a ton of snow to get off of the not groomed trail

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Its a nice calm monday morning with no new snow. I never put an update out on sunday but we had about 5 inches of new snow late saturday night. It was very quiet around Frederic yesterday as the snow came late but for those that got to ride it it made a pleasant surprise. That is including me. We headed out for a ride about 3 and found alot of great snow and rode over to Lovells and around the air to ground and back. I acutually saw the grayling groomer out but he was coming from behind the high school and turning on to 47 trail. Of course trail 7 still had not been touched and it beat me up again. I sure dont know what the deal is on that... #gaylord #snowphotos

GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> A little down state riding in Gaylord, Fredrick and Wolverine. Snow started Saturday around 2. We have at least 6-8”. Trails are decent. A little rougher from the melt but more the enough snow to cool a 2” Assault! #gaylord #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon. Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common. That will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow today, especially in places that are more open and exposed. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon.
