Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 8:14am – I would currently rate the trails in our area as fair to even good where they run through the woods and protected areas. However, trail # 7 is in fair to poor condition, especially where it runs along Otsego Lake. That particular section is seldom in good condition and is never a good indicator as to what the rest of the trails are like. Trail # 4 to the west is good except a little thin in some of the tight corners or in that short section where it’s in the open along Mancelona Road. You’ll still find some really good snow in the protected areas, two-tracks and in the back country. The temperature right now is 12.5 degrees on our digital weather station here at Heart Lake Resort. We have people riding here this week. And remember, if you ever need more information or an honest trail report, whether you’re staying with us or not, please feel free to call. If you need a place to stay, please give us a call as well. We are now booking for Spring Golf Groups, your Family Reunion for Memorial Day Weekend and Summer Family Fun. Thank You.

Good Morning….Monday , Feb 27th 9:20am….temp is 33 and light snow falling …We did run the groomers all weekend & last night… It never did snow like the weather guessers said it would. But it did snow enough to cover the trails..
I groomed trail #8 to Pine Stump last night. It is about 80% good, 10% fair and 10% dirt. DON ran trail #45 to the Falls and about the same thing. The Point trail, #452 and #453 is the same too. Trail #8 south is a little worse, more like 50-30-20.
We received about 2-4 inches last night with drifting/high winds…so it varies from area to area & every mile down the trails..
