Picked 1 heading west & north toward Michigan. Continued on MI-1 to White Pine. Heavy traffic & in need of grooming.

Best way to learn the trails is to buy a Sno-Eagles trail map. Plus download the GTS trails app It is available at the App Store.
If you do riding in the cold temps here are some cold weather riding tips:
- Extra layers of clothing
- Gloves/mittens with long lasting hand warmers or try a pair of battery heated gloves. Gauntlets over handle bars good too
- Cold weather boots with layered socks. Boot warmers are good too
- Fully charged phone stored in the inside pocket of your jacket
- Heated shields are great other wise remember to breath through your nose to prevent fogging
- Stop more frequently & drink water. Cold can cause dehydration
Please stay on the trails to keep the trails open.
Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.
TIME TO RIDE IF YOU ARE HARDY!
SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!!!
