Happy first week of the New Year and boy are we glad to kick last year to the ditch! Had a great holiday week in the Lake Gogebic area – lots of people and a good blast of snow to make conditions favorable (with the help of our amazing groomers!). Mild temps and low levels of activity is what is in store for this week. Groomers are out and will continue. Keep dancing for more snow!
Couple of notes:
Michigan restaurant restrictions permit outdoor dining and take out only. These restrictions will be reviewed and any changes will be announced by Jan 15.
Thank you very much for your support of the Lake Gogebic Area! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Also – please support the clubs where you ride!
This is Mary Beth with AJ’s Walleye Lodge wishing everyone a Happy New Year on behalf of all the business owners, groomers, employees and volunteers who work hard to make sure we maintain the best outdoor playground in the country!!! God Bless!

Snowmobile and Winter ATV/UTV Trails (As of 12/29/2020)
Douglas County received snow on 12/23/20 and on 12/29/20. After a lot of hard work from the club volunteers, 80% of the Snowmobile and Winter ATV/UTV trails under the management of the Douglas County Forestry Department are now open. There is more snow in the northern half of the county and varying cover for the rest. Most trails are in early season riding conditions, so please help us preserve the snow base by riding accordingly.
It is critical that we respect our landowners who allow us to utilize their property for these trails. Please stay on the trail and ride safely. We will provide updates as conditions change.

BJSC Trail Report 1/04/2021
As expected, the heavy holiday traffic took its toll on our trails. As of 3:00 pm on Sunday, we have had 2140 sleds go past our trail counter.
Despite that, some of our trails are still in rideable condition. Trails 15N, 6E, and 15S were groomed Saturday night and were in decent shape late Sunday afternoon.
While 2W and 8W have developed moguls and are getting thin in the corners, these trails are being groomed this morning and probably will be the last grooming on our trails until we receive more snow.
Please be cautious out there, as you may encounter dirt, gravel, and rocks on our trails as they have been worn down to the base.
Next update will be on Wednesday morning.
Think Snow!

We had a great deal of traffic over the weekend but the trails held up ok as we had them groomed but with only so much snow to work with they are getting thin. We will take a look at them today and see if we can keep them open or will have to close them as some of the clubs around have closed there trails. Thank you to all that came out and rode our wonderful trails over the weekend and hope you enjoyed them as our guys had put a lot of time in them marking, smoothing, and grooming. When we get more snow please come up and join us again. Thank You The Cedarville Snow Travelers
