Fast Trails & Fresh Snow – It’s a Great Weekend for Voyageur Country!

There’s nothing like a little surprise snowfall to freshen things up! Our dedicated grooming crews will be out tuning up the trails after a light dusting overnight. A big thank you to all riders who continue to ride respectfully — it truly makes a huge difference and allows our groomers to work their magic and keep the trails in great shape.

While there is a thin base in some areas (so keep an eye out for occasional rocks and changing conditions), riders are reporting that trails are overall smooth and fast. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic weekend to get out and explore!

A couple Safety Notes:
📍 Crane Lake to Nelsons Road (Flowage Area) - Watch for markers identifying an icy spot.
​📍 Kabetogama Ice Road - Use caution near the pressure ridge along the ice road.

Arrowhead State Trail (per DNR):
The base may be thin, but overall conditions are reported as very good. Active logging operations are underway in several areas on both Grant-in-Aid and State Trails. Please remember to stay right, slow down and give trucks and equipment plenty of room.

Voyageurs National Park: Lake trails are open and groomed, with a few exposed rocks on portages and possible ruts and drifting snow on the lakes. Stay alert near ice road crossings and berms created by anglers plowing access. Use extra caution if venturing off trail.  And remember: ice is never 100% safe.

As Always:
➡️ Stay Right
➡️ Stay Alert
➡️ Stay Safe

Pack up the sled, gather your crew, and come experience winter at its best in Voyageur Country this weekend. We can’t wait to see you on the trails!
