The space was created by the DNR for Emergency Helicopter Medivac situations in the event of an accident. Please do not park in the Landing Zone!
Traffic Hazard: When leaving the staging area in town and going past the Logging Museum snowmobiles must ride with the flow of traffic.

We have had a few opportunities over the past week with mechanical issues on the machines. We will have a loaner machine today while the vendor repairs our new machine. The trails are in good to great condition and we have been working one machine 24/7 over the past few days. We will be back to two machines today and hopefully the third one tomorrow if the parts arrive today. We anticipate picking up a few inches each day this week, through the end of the week. Updates are listed below. As always we want to encourage safe and responsible riding!! Please ride with caution.
Stay on the Trail!! Ride Right and Be Safe!! Please be respectful of private property, howbeit it fields or peoples front yards.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> Historic late season snow storm ends today. Snow continues this morning, heaviest across the north central highlands. Snow will then quickly diminish this afternoon and will end most areas by late afternoon. Where the heaviest snow has fallen, travel will be very difficult this morning. Also, where snow has collected on trees, gusty winds this morning may still break tree limbs and cause additional power outages. With warmer weather ahead, melting snow will lead to water level rises on rivers and streams, creating the potential of more flooding... #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising#seney#newberry #soo #straitsareaHistoric late season snow storm ends today.
