Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 01/04
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 01/04
We didn’t have anyone available to groom last night but do have all three groomers headed out tonight.
The railroade grade (trail 7) was groomed last on Friday night & everything in the woods was done Thursday night. The trails are going to be on the rough side today.
⚠️🛑 Trail closure: Trail 7 (the railroad grade) will be closed from Trails End Road to Cadillac St in Mackinaw City starting Monday 1/5 for 3-5 days while soil testing is conducted. We will update everyone once that section re-opens. There is not a reroute at this time.
⚠️🪵 Active logging operation on Trail 71 from Brutus road to the Alanson Trail intersection.

PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Trail report 1-11-2026, we had both groomers out tonight. The trails held up pretty well, with the fresh snow we are back in business. I forgot to do a video as I was training tonight. If I get out for a ride in the morning I'll post a video. Kyle #petoskey #snowphotos
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> The snow didn’t disappoint yesterday! We gained back all the snow we lost in the warm up earlier this week plus some!
We had two groomers out last night, the railroad grade (trail 7) was groomed from Van road to Alanson, and all the trails on the East side of the Harbor Barn (717, 71, & 711) were all groomed.
Overall everything is in good shape, the trails were a bit icy yesterday but the added snow should help cover that up. There were a few open water holes behind the Pellston airport last night, temperatures are currently around 19 degrees so hoping those freeze back up quickly.
It’s a great day to get out and ride, stop by one of our sponsors for some lunch or dinner. Beach's Up North Tavern, Clyde's Place, or Moose Jaw Junction. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotosThe snow didn’t disappoint yesterday!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon. Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common. That will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow today, especially in places that are more open and exposed. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon.
