ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Hamilton's North Coast Adventures >> Riding across the Ontonagon River bridge on trail 12 is a sight to behold! You soar 80 feet above the river on a dedicated section for motorized vehicles to use, how awesome is that?! It's one of the tightest groomer sections we have that provides very little margin for error. It's also a great view of Lake Superior, the Trapp hills to the south, and really lets you know how pro-snowmobile Ontonagon is. It's a tremendous destination full of amazing eateries like Up north cafe (best pancakes on planet earth), Syl's Restaurant, GiGi's Coffee and Sandwiches, Connie's Coffee and Subs, and of course the famous Roxey's Bar and Grill! What's your favorite stop for food in Ontonagon? #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's report for 1-30-26.
Temp's remain cold with light snow seems like daily. Our operator that went up 102 last night had reported very poor visibility but once you get up in the hills, that's pretty much been a common theme this season.
Trail's covered last night/this morning. 102, 8w, 8e and 13s. Trail's are in good to great shape! Get out and Enjoy...

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️🛷 Honest question… where have all the snowmobiles gone?
We’ve got deep snow, incredible coverage, and trails that are as good as they’ve been in years. This kind of setup doesn’t come around often, and right now everything is dialed in.
If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time to pack up and head north. The extra drive is 100% worth it.
Need a place to stay? Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins puts you right on the trails with cozy cabins, warm rooms, and everything you need to fuel up and ride again the next day. 🛷❄️ #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
Whole state is good this year!
