KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/17
HOLY WAH! It’s a true winter wonderland here in the Keweenaw! Look at these snowfall totals over the last 5 days! FORTY-SIX inches of fresh white gold has fallen!
The Keweenaw Snowmobile Club has been out working tirelessly getting the trails opened up! As of this morning they had covered every trail with the exception of trail 133 from Gay to Lac la Belle and the High Rock Trail Spur! Please continue to ride with caution as they are still reporting that “there continue to be water holes, trees, and thin spots.” You can checkout daily updates on the Visit Keweenaw website
https://www.visitkeweenaw.com/…/snowfall-trail-conditions/
👏 In case you missed the news: Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden has been reopened and it is awesome to be able to ride that section of trail after it being closed since the Fathers Day Flood of 2018!
If you have a future trip planned to the Keweenaw you can also request a free paper copy trail map be mailed to you here ➡ https://www.visitkeweenaw.com/plan/free-area-guides/ Tons of good information can be found on the Visit Keweenaw website!
Did you know you can have real time grooming operation information right on your own phone? Please download the Groomer Tracker app and subscribe to the KSC trail system. There is a nominal fee of $9.99 and half of the fee comes right back to the club to help with grooming operations! This enables you to see the recent and current grooming status of every trail!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 22 January 2026
It was a very snowy and cold day to be out riding. Better than half my run was in white out conditions which made it very difficult to even see the trail at times.
Due to the severe weather we will pause grooming for the next couple of nights.
