Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 02/13
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 02/13
(Behind the scenes) Trail 13 south of Lake Gogebic has been a treat this year. We were able to pull off a miracle to get trail 13 open for snowmobile season. The Reroute took many hours to find landowners and to get approval to make it a trail. We now had to close the reroute down and go back to our original trail. Yesterday, we broke open the trail and resigned 13 south of trail 100. We also connect trail 100 and 13 intersection to to Stagecoach road to make for less road riding.😁 Please follow the signs to avoid the logging area. Hope Mother Nature doesn’t hurt us too much. Also a thank you to Riesterer & Schnell Outdoor Equipment to let us try a John Deere Tractor on our trails. Was really impressed how well it handled on our system of trails.

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's report for Monday evening 1-19-26.
Cold and Snowy!!
Currently we're sitting around -9°.
Snowfall, I think it varies in each particular area but guessing we've received 20"+ over the past 3 day's..
As with any significant storm we receive it will take a few passes to get everything back in shape but the trail's hit tonight turned out good!
Trail's covered tonight 13n, 1n, 8w and 8e.
8w to Wakefield is in good shape now and no more water holes, a little narrow in spots but 💯 passable. Video is of 1n to White Pine. Thanks everyone.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️
I went for a ride after all the fresh POW piled up on us this weekend, and WOW — these trails are absolutely fantastic right now.
We picked up about a foot of light, fluffy snow over the weekend, and Mother Nature isn’t done yet. Another 6–10 inches is falling today, adding to an already solid base. The cold weather is hanging on, and with steady lake-effect snow expected throughout the week, conditions are shaping up beautifully across the western U.P.
Trails are smooth, well-covered, and riding great — this is the kind of snow we wait all season for. If you’ve been thinking about making a trip, now is the time. The Western U.P. is definitely the place to be right now.
🏁 Riding the Ontonagon & Porkies area? Make it easy on yourself and stay right on the trail at Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins — warm rooms, sled-friendly parking, and Lake Superior views when you’re done riding. Come ride hard, then relax with us! 🏁 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️
