Looks like spring has come to the Keweenaw this week! Temps supposed to be in the 40s all week. Snowmobile trails range from poor and bare to still pretty good north of Phoenix. Looks like your last chance to play winter.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open, and groomers are out working on them. Trails are reported to range from bare to poor condition in towns, near the lake and in low snow areas to good condition in the woods. Trail 3 from Hancock to Lake Linden and Trail 122 from Lake Linden to Gay will not be groomed again until we get new snow.

Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails…….they have the right of way!!
There is logging on a short portion of Trail 133 between Gay and Lac La Belle.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.
