Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/03

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/03

1/3/25
19 degrees this morning with heavy LE bands blowing in and out. Sometimes I can`t even see across my parking lot! We picked up a good 6" between yesterday and last night!

Now that the weather is cooperating we are hittin the trails wide open! All three of our machines will be rolling this morning. We are running trail #8 south (skipping the swamp for now), trail #8 to Pine Stump and trails #452 and #453. I`ll have a detailed report on how everything goes tomorrow morning, including what the loggers are up to, they are (were) running on 3 sections of our trail system. We are gonna wait a few days for the cold temps to start to freeze up our swampy areas….ie the Falls trail #45 and the swamp south of town.

All I have fer now…..I`m heading out the door to go grooming!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Groomer Chris

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TROUT LAKE AREA UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Attempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake. Use caution as there is a downed tree on the backside of the lake. We did not have a chainsaw and were unable to move it on our own. Visibility is better and there are a lot of sleds out. The snow is DEEP. If I had to guess I would say we got 20"+ of snow. Be safe. Be prepared and do not ride alone.
Buckhorn, Trout Lake is open and so is the gas station
Special thanks to RAD Rentals! Our family from Florida is enjoying the snow and their lessons in being a Yooper. Check them out for snowmobile and gear rentals!! #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosAttempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake.

TROUT LAKE - EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Welp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in. The wind makes it hard to tell exactly how much snow we have gotten in the last 24hrs but its pretty significant. Roads are NOT passable. Please don't try to go out until the county trucks are able to do a pass or 2. If you are familiar with our area, this pic was taken on Huckleberry road on the South side of the lake. #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosWelp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in.
