Trail and Snow Report….Friday, February 24th, 2012 – early morning

I would still rate the trails in our area to be in poor to fair condition but are getting better today with this snow that is coming down. (go to NOAA.gov and plug in Gaylord, MI) Where they run through the woods and are protected I would rate them fair and even good in some places. I did some riding yesterday to check them out to be sure. Trail 7 that parallels Old 27 from the Grayling area to north of Gaylord is still showing bare ground in many places, especially along Otsego Lake where it is all dirt and just not rideable at this time. Once you get on trail 4 though and head to the West, you’ll find better conditions. Where trail # 4 parallels Mancelona Road I am still seeing some bare ground in the open areas or on the hilltops. The back country and two-tracks still have good snow. The temperature now is 28.2 here at Heart Lake Resort. If you ever need more information or an honest trail report, whether you’re staying with us or not, please feel free to call. If you need a place to stay, please give us a call as well. We are now booking for spring Golf Groups and Summer Family Vacations. Thank You. John @ Heart Lake Resort Cottages – Gaylord. Phone: 989-732-5081

Trail and Snow Report….Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012 – 8:10 am.

I would rate trails in our area to be in poor to fair condition. More towards fair where they run through the woods and are protected but definitely more towards to poor or bare where they are in the open. Trail 7 that parallels Old 27 from the Grayling area to North of Gaylord is showing bare ground in many places, especially along Otsego Lake where it is all dirt. Once you get on trial 4 though and head to the West, you’ll find better conditions but only fair at best. Where trail # 4 parallels Mancelona Road, a lot of bare ground is showing in those open areas. The back country still has snow. The temperature as I write this is 30.9 degrees here at Heart Lake. If you ever need more information or an honest trail report whether you’re staying with us or not, or, even if you need a place to stay, please feel free to call.
