Munising Trail Report
We have seen around 6-8 inches of snow fall here in Munising the last couple days. Temps have dropped and more snow is forecast. The groomed snowmobile trails around Munising are in good to very good condition.
The 419 connector going to Munising from the south is closed at the RR crossing south of M-28 near the prison. The other connector to Munising north of town near the Hillside Party Store is open. The 419 to Wetmore and Christmas are also open.
There is now 6-8 inches of good ice on Munising Bay. Fishing is still slow but the ice is good for now in the southern part of the bay. THE ICE IS NOT SAFE ENOUGH TO RIDE TO GRAND ISLAND. Still open water and very thin ice around the island and in the channel. Check with someone local before heading out on the ice.

The Lake Superior snow machine kicked on today here in Munising. We picked up a few inches of fresh powder today, and another few inches is forecast for tonight.
This new snow will freshen up the groomed snowmobile trails around Munising nicely. We still have a good six inch base on the trails and close to two feet of snow in the woods.
Munising Trail Report 2/23
We picked up an inch or two of new snow. The snowmobile trails around Munising are fair to good at this time. Still dirty and icy near town but we have pretty good snow in the woods. Groomers are running daily.
Munising Trail Report 2/18
The weekend traffic is taking it’s toll on the Munising Snowmobile Trails. The 419 connectors into Munising, Wetmore, and Christmas are in poor to fair condition. The 419 in the hills behind Munising is very icy and rough. The North Hiawatha section of Snowmobile Trail 7/8 is in poor to fair condition.
The Coalwood section of Trail 8 is in fair to good condition. Groomers are out but with all the traffic and lack of fresh snow the groomed snowmobile trails around Munising are in rough shape at this time. Weather is also supposed to warm up the next few days.
Some of the forest roads and two tracks in the Hiawatha National Forest offer very good riding.
Munising Trail Report 2/17
Not much change in the weather here in Munising. Still warming up above freezing during the day. The snowmobile trails are in fair to good condition. Groomers are running. Near town the connectors are dirty and icy in the corners. Still around two feet of snow in the woods.
