From Lake Gogebic: Grooming daily-trails in good condition but Icy-watch for a few bare spots.

Ontonagon trails are groomed with good coverage.
Watersmeet trails groomed and reported in good shape.
Overall, I think you'll be surprised at the condition of our trails

One more heads up: Tickets are being issued for illegal behavior and sleds, including trespassing, not stopping at stop signs, riding illegal railroad grades and especially loud or altered pipes. Just obey the laws and you'll be fine.
As always, check with your lodging facility on ice depth and conditions before venturing out on any Lake.
Come on up-have fun-be safe!
