Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/17

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western U.P. Trail Reports – 12/17

Well we had multiple groups share riding experiences yesterday on the trails within the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club and the U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club trail system.

All reports we good for early season riding conditions! Graham Jensen & crew are staying at The Trailside Lodge in Calumet, right on trail 17. They put on over 100 miles today riding up Brockway to Copper Harbor and back. They stopped in at Cliff View and at The Mariner North. Graham shared this video (and photos-but fb only allows one type of media to be shared in a post) and said that they were not expecting the trails to be in as good of shape as they are! He said they only removed about 5 branches and minimal rocks.

Thanks for helping while out riding and sharing Graham! We hope you have another great day tomorrow!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western U.P. Trail Reports – 12/16

I took a little ride on Trail 3 from Toivola to South Range today. Surprisingly there are quite a few sleds out. The trail is a little ruff in spots but the worst is the road crossings. There are some pretty big banks to get over on some of the roads. It’s definitely early season ride so please ride with caution.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 19 January 2026
We received another 6.5 inches this morning and it's still snowing at 10:00am. Pretty much white out conditions all morning and it's still very poor visibility.
Stay warm it's only 1° right now.
I thought I'd share a few picks from my ride down 109 yesterday while I grooming.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️
I went for a ride after all the fresh POW piled up on us this weekend, and WOW — these trails are absolutely fantastic right now.
We picked up about a foot of light, fluffy snow over the weekend, and Mother Nature isn’t done yet. Another 6–10 inches is falling today, adding to an already solid base. The cold weather is hanging on, and with steady lake-effect snow expected throughout the week, conditions are shaping up beautifully across the western U.P.
Trails are smooth, well-covered, and riding great — this is the kind of snow we wait all season for. If you’ve been thinking about making a trip, now is the time. The Western U.P. is definitely the place to be right now.
🏁 Riding the Ontonagon & Porkies area? Make it easy on yourself and stay right on the trail at Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins — warm rooms, sled-friendly parking, and Lake Superior views when you’re done riding. Come ride hard, then relax with us! 🏁 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️
