When we ask our guests how the trails are we are receiving smiles and they are replying great, awesome and excellent. We are being told that the groomers are doing a good job overall.

Halfway Lake Resort – Newberry Area – January 19, 2013

Occasionally, when we get into a conversation we hear about a bad spot here or there. We are being told off trail riding is great too.

I even tried asking if there were any areas I should tell people to avoid. The response? Other sleds. The trails are great and we are expected to receive more snow today. It is going to be another busy weekend. Please drive safe!
We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry and 7 miles S of Pinestump Jnct. Between Grand Marais and Paradise.

We are full this weekend. There is one cottage available for Wed, Tr, Fri next week and openings beginning Feb 3.

Finally, we had the opportunity to get out and ride the trails. We rode trail 7 up to Gaylord. It was in fantastic shape. So much to ride when the trails are as good as they are right now. Spoke with other riders who had been up to Indian River and they reported it was great all the way.

Gaylord Area – Jan. 24
The riding is excellent.

Then we turned back taking trail 7 back to where it intersects with 4 not far from the motel. Rode over to Lakes of the North. Great conditions too. The roller coaster hills along Mancelona Rd was the only area where there were rolling bumps.

It was just a great ride, and the outdoors is so beautiful with the snow still hanging on all the trees. A group from the motel had went over to Jordan Valley and could not stop telling how smooth that trail was, and as always felt it was extremely beautiful.

We’re warming up a bit today with a high of 18. There wll be alot of riders out this weekend. We have been booked for some time, and most all the area hotels are also full. Drive defensively and safely. Enjoy the snow!
