SNOWMOBILING

Over 675 miles of groomed, marked scenic trails in our two-county area in Upper Michigan. The trails systems of both ALGER and MARQUETTE counties crossover at our front door. You can practically ride a different way every day!
Our area also offers plenty of old logging roads to explore and ride through the U.P. northwoods. We recommend a ride from the Lodge to the Laughing Whitefish Falls - the highest falls in Michigan at 140 feet.
