Ontonagon Trail Report – 12/07
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP – 12/07
Today’s update is brought to you by Roxey’s Bar & Grill in downtown Ontonagon! A fantastic destination today with great trail conditions to and from! Trails that are rideable are in good shape, the others, heed warnings! Please support the sponsors that support us!!!
Trail 137: starts thinning the last 1/2 mile as you drop north into Ontonagon. Plenty of snow and we even covered the bare spot underneath the bridge. Groomed last night
Trail 12 from 137 east to Greenland: Mega water holes. Likely impassable for most riders. Rolled and packed for first timers Thursday night. Riding not advised.
Trail 12 from Ontonagon WEST to 101: CLOSED, BRIDGE OUT. Opening Jan 2025.
Trail 13: Rated good to very good. Deepest trail we found. Groomed up very well last night. Groomed in road route ditch trail
Trail 101: Very good to excellent. Groomed up last night.
Trail 12 from 101 to White Pine: fair to good. Water holes will reopen today, but it had a ton of snow along the power lines! Be mindful of driveway crossings! Also groomed in road route ditch trail.
Trail 1 to Trail 11: Poor, but rideable. Snow farming operations turned it to snirt as snow levels dropped as you went north (very typical as you go to the lake).
Trail 1 to Lake Of The Clouds: Fair. Thin snow. Groomed last night.
Trail 11: Has not been groomed or rolled, but should be a great ride on the unplowed south Boundary road.
