Lake Gogebic Michigan Trail Report

Recommended Posts

Just got back from 2 days in the UP. All I can say is wow. The further North you go the better the trails.

Saturday we left form Bergland and rode to Twin Lakes +. We rode the Bill Nichols trail. It is a straight shot with some pretty cool bridges over some deep valleys. It was snowing so hard you had to take it pretty easy. From Houghton to Silver City received 20 to 30 inches of snow since last Thursday. The closer you get to the lake the deeper the snow is.

On Sunday we went South and East from Bergland to Watersmeet and Land O Lakes. Trails were smooth and fast. From Watersmeet we went to Marinesco (sp). Back up to Lake Gogebic.

286 miles in 2 days. We could have done more but it was pretty cold out and we made frequent stops. I'm going back out there in a month. Can't wait

Traveling across Northern Wisconsin the trail also looked to be in great shape. I just wanted to send a report for you FMers that might be headed that way.

Was out on the trails around Marenisco, MI and Lake Gogebic today.

The ranged from good to excellent with some iced up corners. Only met half the sleds out that I would normally expect to see on a Saturday.

Make sure you have your registration and purchase (and put on your sled)the $25 Trail Permit...... don't need to come back with a ticket !

    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
