Trail Report – : Lake Gogebic | Bergland, Michigan – December 12, 2022

Reporter:AJ’s Walleye Lodge

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Need snow

Date of Report: December 12, 2022

Area Report:

Lake Gogebic area trails took a real beating this past weekend as there was a lot of traffic out on the trails. Groomers did not go out last night due to temperatures and will head out tonight only if temps drop below freezing. Current forecast calls for a snow this week and a winter weather advisory starting Wednesday. Great news as we can really use some snow! Lake travel is not recommended even though there have been some sightings of sleds on Lake Gogebic.

Trail 1 South on the West side of Lake Gogebic: will be out brushing and signing and will probably not get completed today, but it will be completed this week.

Trail 1 North: in good condition and has not been groomed the past 2 days.

Trail 13 South East opened up and groomed today as it was previously closed due to muzzleloading season which is now over. Reported to be in fair condition with a couple of water spots.

Trail 13 North is the gem of our trail system – in great shape.

Trail 102 has been completely cleared; but it is in rough shape. Very thin, dirt and wet spots in many area. Use extreme caution.

Trail 8 West: open water and wet spots.

Trail 8 East: has been groomed. Getting thin in some areas.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – December 8, 2022

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Couple of inches at best

Date of Report: December 8, 2022

Area Report:

December 8, 2022 – 7:15am – 1 degree

First report of the 2022-2023. Trails in all of Vilas County are still CLOSED.

Morning & it’s good to be back,

Trails in Eagle River & all of Vilas County remain CLOSED. We need more snow in the south half of the County plus more COLD weather to freeze up the trails. So before you start Doin’ The Snow Dance need you to THINK COLD!

Last week the Parks & Rec Supervisor began trail inspections. There are 11 clubs in Vilas so it takes some time. Should be completed by the end of this weekend or early next week. Then it’s a waiting game. Northern parts of the County have more SNOW than in the Southern part. As in pass season it’s a waiting game. Rep’s from each of the Clubs will get together & vote as to the opening date. Then the Parks & Rec Supervisor would put out a PSA. Stay tuned.

See Ya on the Trails real soon!

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – December 7, 2022

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 1″ base

Date of Report: December 7, 2022

Area Report:

It’s been a very slow start here in the Keweenaw. We have a little over an inch of snow and light snow today. Not much of an accumulation is expected but I’ll keep a close eye on it through out the day. The further west you go the better the conditions get with the Gogebic area having around two foot in places. Unfortunately I’m not seeing any big storms in the next 10 days but this is the U.P. and things can change in at any time. Keep in mind the Portage Lift Bridge is still up and generally does get lowered until December 15th or later so crossing over is not possible at this time. If you do come up we have a lot of standing water that needs to freeze up so always ride with caution.

Date of Report: December 6, 2022

Area Report:

December 6, 2022

Groomers have been out getting work done on the trails and have accomplished a great deal. Cold temps have helped to freeze the ground and 1-3 is forecasted for tomorrow and for several days next week so we are looking good. Groomers are looking to hook up the drag and looking to do first groomer run tonight – probably on 8 E.

13 South – has been signed and brushed.
13N: all gates are open and the trail has been reported to be in great shape.
Groomers are still working on the Trail 1 South re-route.
8 west needs some additional cold in order to freeze, needs to firm up, and needs more snow in order to pack it in and let it freeze.
Trail 102 has been opened – it is passable – but very early conditions.
1 North has been packed.

We know that everyone is anxious to get out and ride and please just remember that we have early season conditions but all the right things are being done to get the trails in great shape! Much thanks to our groomers for all their perseverance and hard work!
