Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 8-10”
Date of Report: February 21, 2025
Area Report:
Went for a ride on Thursday the 20th and put on 100 miles. We rode to Presque Isle, then up to Michigan to come back via the Cisco Chain. Trails were fair to good. As we came back through MI, you can see the snow get a little thinner the farther we went East. The grades were mostly flat except for the bridge crossings. Those had some large moguls on them, so slow way down when crossing.
Conover trails were mostly groomed last night, and we will be back out Friday and Saturday. Hopefully the warm up they are forecasting for next week isn’t bad. We still need more snow. Bare spots are coming out with clear skies and sun out.
News and Reports:
Trail 12 from the RR grade TIN 732 to County K TIN 731 has ruts from ATVs. There isn’t enough snow to fill the ruts, but it is getting better. We put signs at each end of the trail for Caution Next 1 mile and Rough Trail. Use caution when traveling this area.
The Cemetery Trail from TIN 724 to TIN 725, and south to TIN 727 at Church Rd is thin for snow cover. You will find a few bare spots, There is a hill between TIN 725 and TIN 726 at Lindberg Rd that was bare from sleds going up it. The swamp area did freeze up, so it is good to go.
