Trail Conditions: Not Ridable
Snow Cover: 3 inches
Date of Report: January 11, 2025
Area Report:
Not much new to report at this time. We received a couple inches of snow yesterday.. but we need at least 10 – 12 inches before groomers will be going out on the trails. The good news is we have a good solid base for when it does start snowing.. it should be good grooming and will hopefully stick around a little longer on those warmer March days.
News and Reports:
Sadly, Winter fest has been canceled due to lack of snow. The event was scheduled for January 18th at the Young’s Recreational Complex. They have decided to host a Smear Tournament instead with live music later in the day.
I’m not really sure if the Free Snowmobile Weekend scheduled for January 17th -19th will do us any good this year…. let’s all hope for a good storm between now and then. It would be nice if Michigan would move the Free Snowmobile Weekend back into February if it doesn’t happen this month.
On a good note… we have good ice with the cold temps starting back in December and carrying over into January. So for all you “Anglers” grab you pole..tip ups and come on up!! The fishing is GREAT!! 🙂
February 15th & 16th, 2025 – Michigan “Free“ Fishing weekend! No permits needed. 🙂
