no grooming yet

  x    
Moose Country Trails

Grooming was as follows: Trail 5 from Republic to the turnaround with the big Bay 550 club. Trail 8 from Ishpeming to the turnaround with Baraga County. Trail 8 and 14 from Ishpeming into Marquette. Trail 18 from Republic to the DNR bridge turn around. Trails 5 and 32 south of Republic still have not been groomed as there is not enough snow in this area. Trail conditions are early season riding with the chance of hitting the occasional rock under the surface of the snow. The snow base on most of the trail is 2-3 inches with ice underneath. We will be sending the groomers out very limited until we get more snow.

Trenary Northern Trails Made a full run on the trail. Still very thin from east Highway 41 to Little Lake. We won't be grooming daily out that way just yet. Need more snow. From Rumely to 417, we will start to groom more regularly. Low snow use caution. 1/14/25 x
