Our  Trail News!

Watch out, Groomers are great guys voluntarily working out there in the cold for your *winter sports fun* Use caution!! Keep them and yourself safe by giving them right of way. "Slow down" Show your appreciation with a thumbs up as carefully passing. Also remember that the signs on the snowmobile trails are there for a reason, for the safety of all riders. So please don't remove them!! "Just Think" the souvenir (sign) you take home, could take someone's life and that rider goes for last ride home in a box. You will never know but we will know sign was removed, so if you find a sign down let us know before it's too late. Grooming is done 4 days a week, by 3 groomers at different parts of our trail every Mon., Wed, Fri, and Sat. nights, also as needed. Watch for those big John Deere Tractors especially on hills, curves in wooded areas through out our trail system! Ride safe and sober, make it fun for the whole family; be courteous and helpful to others you meet along the trail. Travel safely this winter and come enjoy our extraordinary white winter wonderland season fun this year.

Benzie-Manistee Snowbirds Update:1/29/12 As of Sunday, all trails are groomed and in good condition. We are finally starting to build up a good base.  Need it to stay cold to hold it.  Have fun, and be safe. Announcements Check out the calendar.

Purchase of trail permits is critical for the trails to operate.  A large segment of the snowmobilers thought that the trail systems were funded through a general budget of the DNR. This is a misunderstanding. DNR administers the program using the funds collected from the trail permits. Trail system is self funded by you whom purchase trail permits.
