Harbor Springs Trail Report – 02/26
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 2/26 Trails are overall in good shape but the corners are icy! It’s a beautiful day to get out and enjoy the trails. Ride right & ride safe. <> <> HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Our junior trail boss approves of the conditions! Overall the trails are in great shape, the west side was last groomed on Monday night & we had two groomers out last night on the grade & east side of our trail system. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Feb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions. Colder Saturday, with a few flurries around again, and then, you guessed it, more snow chances going into early next week…though signals point toward a warming trend during this period as well. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyFeb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions.

Please slow down on trail 71/Chadderdon road in the section where they are logging. They are hoping to be out of there in about two weeks.

Pisten Bully is still down on trail 4/76. NDA ordered Wednesday showed up Saturday afternoon. Crew got out there Sunday but found more damage and parts were ordered today.
If you happen to find this boogie wheel between Alba and trail 76 north of Elmira please notify us, we need to get our hands on it. New part is on order and scheduled to be in tomorrow.
If all goes as planned trails will be back in shape by end of the week.
Huge thank you to Mike, Kevin, Phil, Rich and Craig for trying to get repairs made in timely fashion. Nothing our volunteers can do about shipping delays or parts availability. #jordanvalley #gaylord #petoskey
Overall, our trails are in great shape! The only rough section is where they are logging on 71/Chadderdon Rd. We had a groomer out on the grade last night from Pellston to Alanson & two out tonight, one on the grade from Pellston to Mackinaw & the other on the west side of our trail system. We plan to have at least one groomer out every day this week & through the weekend.
🪵 Logging Operation – Trail 71 🪵
There is still an active logging operation on Trail 71 at Chadderdon Road. Although numerous signs are posted, we are still seeing riders not slowing down.
Please use extreme caution in this area:
- Skidders and log trucks are entering and traveling on the trail
- SLOW DOWN
- If you encounter logging equipment coming toward you, get off the trail or turn around until you can safely move aside
- Do not try to go around them — they are much larger than you, cannot stop quickly, and have the right of way
Your safety (and theirs) depends on it.

Please be aware there is still logging on Chadderdon road (Trail 71) & log trucks have the right of way. Please get off the trail or turn around if you encounter one, DO NOT try to go around them. They have about two more weeks of logging in that area. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotosWe had a groomer out on the grade last night that ran north from Pellston to Mackinaw.
