Trails and weather are looking good! We did have a lot of traffic over this last weekend but groomers are all out repairing the damage. We’ve received about 5 inches of new snow since this morning and more is expected through the day and into Monday with a big storm still in the forecast for Tuesday! It’s all good!! I’m not sure, yet, how much snow has made it down to our southern most trails (13 south & 1 south). One of our drivers reported yesterday that the snow was pretty thin from about the south end of the lake southward. The snow belt at the north end of the lake northward has plenty of snow. Although there is a portion of trail 8 east near Ewen that is a bit bare due to salt getting dragged onto the trail from a nearby roadway.

As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticketed. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side of the roadway, and, as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic.

. *If you’d like additional information about our area please contact The Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce at 888.GOGEBIC or www.lakegogebicarea.com. You can also email us at info@lakegogebicarea.com. Hope we see you soon – for those of you already up here have a safe ride!

*Gogebic Area Grooming really needs your support at this time more than ever. You can be a part of our grooming efforts with a sponsorship of $25 for single, $30 for family and $75 for businesses. However we’d greatly appreciate a donation of any amount. These can be sent to “Gogebic Area Grooming” at “115 Hoop ‘N Holler Rd / Merriweather, MI 49947” or you can find sponsorship pads at most businesses around the lake with our map boxes, where you can also deposit donations. All map money is intended to benefit the grooming efforts in our area. If you mail your sponsorship or donation to the above address be sure to include contact info, as well.

Ironwood Trail Report – Gogebic Range Trail Authority – 02/03

Overall Conditions: Good to very good!

We’ve seen about 2′ of new snow since Wednesday 2/1. All of our water hazards have frozen back up and our stellar group of VOLUNTEER (unpaid!) groomer operators have brought the trails right back to pre-thaw conditions.

We need your membership – Join today via credit card!

Trail 2 from Hurley to Ramsay Crossing:

Overall rating: Very Good

Groomed 2/3. This trail is groomed everyday and is in great condition.

Trail 2 from Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield:

Overall rating: Good Condition

Groomed 2/2. Please stay on the marked trails! Our operators have gotten the water hazard froze up and hills covered with snow again greatly reducing the icy hill-climb hazard. It is a tight & new trail, please ride safely.

Trail 2 from Wakefield to Marenisco:

Overall Rating: Very good to Excellent

Groomed 2/1. Still some thin spots where you may hear your skegs catching ground, but for the most part this trail is in excellent shape! This trail is a mix of rail bed and a freshly dozed logging road with many turns & twists. Excellent ride.

Trail 8 from Bingo’s to Tula Crossing:

Overall Rating: Very Good

Groomed 2/3. This trail sees the most traffic (fastest way to Keweenaw/Bergland). This trail is an unplowed logging road and is a ‘super-highway’. Please stay on the trail.

Trail 160 from Walmart to Montreal River (WI):

Overall Rating: Scheduled bridge completion is 2/15, this is an active construction site please stay out! We need immediate help brushing and signing this trail! We cannot groom it without DNR signing/brushing approval so it is a critical task to get this completed! We need people during the week and the weekend! Please contact us today (info@gogebicrangeta.org or facebook us!) so we can include you on the planning conversation (email).

Trail 11N (South Boundary Rd) / 11S (Winchester, WI):

Overall Rating: CLOSED for the season. Seeking volunteers to help open the trails!

The club is actively seeking help to get the trail evaluated and prioritized for opening 11S next summer. One of the areas most favorite trails was lost due to logging operations and an inability to reroute. Then, the task of getting the trail back open was hindered by beaver flooding issues and a lack of labor. We need volunteers to step up and help get this gorgeous trail open next season!
