Newberry Trail Report – Halfway Lake Resort – 02/24

What a weekend. We had every kind of weather you can imagine culminating with 6" of fresh snow. Our snow gauge lost two inches, but gained 4". We had sledders through the weekend and everyone had good things to say about the trails. We will continue to update with any changes.

Our area has 3-5 feet of snow on the ground and everyone has wonderful things to say regarding trail conditions. Area wide the groomers are receiving many compliments on how how they are keeping the trails. Thank you and keep up the good work! People are riding from here to the far eastern end, down to Trout Lake, over to Christmas and even Kitch-iti-kipi, commenting on how this is not always possible. If old man winter keeps up like this we will have great trails through the end of March, just like last year.

Why head north and cross the bridge to ride? You will find 3-4 feet of snow on the ground. You can go miles and miles and miles without seeing a stop sign and frequently without seeing another sled. Newberry is 1 hour north of the bridge.

Ride right from your door in a different direction each day! We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry (Halfway to Lk Superior) and 7 miles south of Pine Stump Junction. Between Grand Marais and Paradise. Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association grooms over 125 miles of trails that interconnect to hundreds of miles of trails groomed by local associations.
