Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to the 2019-20 snowmobile season!   We had plenty of early snowfall in the months of October/ November but now of course nothing to report in December.   At this time that is a good thing as many of our counties clubs are busy trying to get our trails marked.   With the rough fall for farmers we are still waiting on many fields to be harvested so we can get our signs out in the fields.   At this time our county is reporting that 5-30% of our trails are marked and many clubs will be out in the coming weeks to try and get everything marked before the holidays.   If anyone is looking to lend a hand please visit the WCSA website and contact us.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  if you are looking to join a club please see our club list on the website as well!  Many of the clubs in our area also have their own Facebook pages that you can reach out to us directly to join the club or lend a hand!   Here is the website: http://www.walworthcountysnow.com/home.html  It is our hope to have all of our trails marked at before the holidays.  Then all we will need is snow!  We will report back shortly with updates! 

Trail Report – : Lake Gogebic | Bergland, Michigan – December 7, 2019

Reporter:AJ’s Walleye Lodge

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Good

Date of Report: December 7, 2019

Area Report:

Friday, December 6th

Gogebic Area Grooming received new equipment this week and have been out breaking trails!    We have cold temps and plenty of snow in the forecast!   

Trails 13 North and South got hit yesterday! The drag went up 13 North and Marenisco’s Groomer went South on 13 breaking trails once more. Trail 100 and 102 also got hit.

Trail 8W between Bergland and Wakefield is wet as usual. If you cross the trail to the ditch, your going to swim….. Would advised only paddle track sleds to break trail at this time on 8W. Also if you ride the shoulder of the road, expect a ticket… We are going to try to break trail very soon…. We need some cold weather first to freeze it up.

Trail 8W:   is open but it sure is ride at your own risk!

Trail 102: there is a new reroute about 4 miles before trail 11.  The trail is marked well and the reroute was a very nice turn out.     (Temporary Re-Route)

Past the Root Cellar, there is more logging. You will have to travel on East Shore Rd approximately 2 mile further then before to get back onto trail 13.  A new reroute will take place.  Please follow the signs marked 13.   (Permanent Re-Route for the 2019-2020 Season).

Trail 100: Logging is happening between Stagecouch Rd and the Slate River (very end of Lake Gogebic)   Marshall Creek Bridge has been fixed so you can get to Marenisco from trail 100. (Permanent for 2019-2020 season)

Trail 1 from Trail 100 to Trail 8: Closed until further notice as logging is taking place until the end of December.     You still can access the Gogebic Lodge and we plan to maintain it up to the Lodge, so we can get up and run.
