Gaylord Area Trail Report – 02/12

Gaylord Bureau –

February 12, 2024 – 9:31 a.m.

Temperatures have been warmer than usual this month, which has melted most of our snow. Trails are unrideable at this time and there is little snow expected in the extended forecast. We’ll keep you posted on any changes with the weather. Check back for updates and trail conditions.

Please remember that groomers have the right of way and kindly move off the trail so they can safely proceed. If you approach a groomer from behind, the operator will signal when it’s safe for you to pass. Groomers are here to make your ride more enjoyable so please be courteous!

As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports.

Sledheads of Frederic – 02/12

This is the year winter didnt show. Coming at you from downtown Frederic on a 37 degree and cloudy monday. Seeing some slight predictions of a little snow later in the week but if we do get some I stick to the story that it needs to be a bunch and it will only be good for those first ones on it. On the other hand Side bys and atv.s were out a bit from what I hear. Pic below is Jason Mccune and his group riding the trails on their atv/s around Frederic this weekend. I was a bit more comfy in the sun down south and should have stayed there. I think I have a total of about 200 miles in for the season. I wish I had something better to say. Think snow and MO MO NAH CHEE CHEE NAH….maybe for next season. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 02/12

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 02/12

Good evening everyone. Your Monday February 12th update from the Bergland crew.. Unfortunately not much has changed. We’ve had flurries on and off all day and temp’s are back to more seasonal for this time of year. There’s a chance for system snow towards the end of the week but we’ve heard that all season.. Wish we had better news but at this point for the 23/24 season this winter is a complete bust.

We will continue to have machines and operator’s ready should we get a significant snowfall. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️( All pictures are from today. 2-12-24)

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> URGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland. (Thanks for making the run, Wyatt!) Sunday's storm brought down more trees and the trail is all but impassable again.
Also - 906 Services Inc. is pulling a sled out of this waterhole as I post this. Last week's warm-up wrecked the ice bridge we built and there is no bypass around the water.
PLEASE stay off this trail until we are able to get out there again and do some more repair work.😫 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosURGENT TRAIL UPDATE - We just rode Trail 12 to Greenland.

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Happy New Years Eve all! A quick update from the Marenisco section of GAG. Crews out working hard and all of the trails in our area are in good shape overall. There are still many low branches and whips, it’s getting better but a slow process. Here is the trail by trail update:
Trail 1-Groomed smooth heading south between Trail 2 and Presque Isle. A few branches and whips but getting better. Trail 1 between Marenisco and Trail 100 same condition. Trail 1 heading west and north from the 1/100 intersection is still closed due to logging.
Trail 2-Groomed and smooth through Marenisco to the groomer turnaround.
Trail 13-Rerouted from the 13/100 intersection to head north to Camp 6 road and then east/southeast to the Trail 13/2 intersection. Groomed and fairly smooth with a couple water hole/hazard section. Also a few sections with many low branch’s/whips so use caution. Trail 13 is closed heading southeast from the 13/100 intersection due to logging and has not been groomed or brushed.
Trail 100-Groomed and pretty smooth with a couple of minor rough sections and one minor water hole. Some low branches/whips but overall in good condition for this time of the year.
Hope everyone has a great end of 2025 and beginning of 2026! #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> The last Trail Report for 2025!
Last night Wyatt ran Trail 12 from the NCSC Clubhouse in Ontonagon to Trail 1 thru White Pine, Silver City and to the junction with Trail 11. He and Tractor Mac played lumberjack on Trail 11 all the way to the Junction of 102. Looks like that will continue to be a challenge this season.
Mike C did an up and back starting on Trail 12 out of Hamilton's North Coast Adventures to Trail 101 and then on to Trail 13 to the junction of Trail 137.
The water holes are starting to freeze up, but The LP Walsh Road section of Trail 12 still has running water in the swales. Our guys have built snow bridges, but many are one groom wide. Ride this section with caution, and STAY ON TRAIL.
Trail 1 along Lake Superior is still thin, but improving with each snowfall.
Other than that, most of our trails are in good to very good condition. Ride right and stay safe, Sledheads. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosThe last Trail Report for 2025!

WATERSMEET - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via U.P. Thunder Riders Snowmobile Club >> UPDATED 12/30/25- Groomers were finally able to get out today and groom our entire system and clear all big obstacles that were on or blocking the trails. Both groomers were out 9 to 10 hours to get through everything but still expect some mirror wackers as it will take a while to get all them. We got anywhere from probably 12 to 20 inches of snow so it is going to take a few days before the trails are really going to set up. We will be on a more consistent grooming schedule moving forward as long as weather cooperates and groomer drivers are available. Big thanks to some of the snowmobilers that stopped and help us clear some of the big trees and if you see something on the trails please try to pick it up to help our drivers out. Remember Ride Right and Ride Safe. #watersmeet #westernup #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less
