We went to the Munising area the last weekend in February and had a awesome time. We stayed at the Timber Ridge Lodge and resort ( great place and very friendly people). The highlight of the trip was snowmobiling around Grand Island and seeing the ice formations hanging off the high cliffs. The locals were very helpful telling us the conditions and where to go around the island.We highly recommend going to the Munising area for snowmobiling……

Snow and Weather: Hello All and Happy New Year!
I just wanted to do a quick update since its been a few days.
The last day or 2 we have gotten several inches of snow and it is remaining cold so the trails are in great shape right now. We did not get hit with too many riders this past week and the groomers are out so the trails are in very good riding shape. Now, hopefully the weather will continue to cooperate.
