Watersmeet Area
In the Watersmeet area Carole reports things are nearing an end for the snowmobile season. The groomers are still making it out but most heavily traveled trails and the trails in town are reported fair to poor. The less traveled areas and in the woods still are reported good but she states you need to be creative to get there. She suggests you call her directly and she can fill you in on the short cuts and secrets to get to the trails that are still ride-able. The area has received some new snow but temperatures are expected to be in the 30's and rain is in the forecast next week.
