Upper Peninsula

Watersmeet Area

According to Carole's answering machine the trails are open and the resort has opening this weekend so call if you are interested. Carole wrote us on 03/06/2006 - Our trails are very good right now, but warming weather could change things.  We have lots of snow so think this will not hurt our trails much unless we get a lot of rain instead of the rain/snow mix predicted.  We should have plenty of snowmobiling time left between now and the first week of April.
