Exciting,
fun-filled snowmobiling is close at hand with a short trip to Iron County in south central Upper Michigan. This scenic
region features more than 300 miles of well-groomed trails which
enables the rider to experience the inherent beauty and wildlife
that abounds in this area.
The Iron Range Trails cover Amasa, Crystal Falls, Iron River, and Sidnaw, providing hundreds of miles of excellent sledding. These trails also connect with the vast trail systems of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin. And with plenty of abandoned railroad grades and many straight-open stretches of two miles or more, Iron County is the place for you! Iron
River serves as a main hub for many trails in the area, providing
all the amenities snowmobilers could ask for. Trail 16, known as
the "Chippewa Trail", travels east on a well groomed scenic
route to Crystal Falls. From here it continues on to the Sagola
area on the Arsenia Hershey Trail. A jaunt on Trail 15 takes riders
north deep into the magnificent Upper Michigan northwoods offering
the luck rider many opportunities to view or capture on film wildlife
and scenery. This trail gives sno-tourers the option of traveling
to Sidnaw or connecting with Trail 4 toward Kenton or Trail 111
to Amasa.
Wide open trails and groomed scenic journeys through the woods are Iron County's trademark. When planning a trip to Iron County Michigan to snowmobile, be sure to pack warm clothes as the temperature can drop below zero for several days.
For the adventurous traveler, a forest map and compass will take you to deep powder, but bring a tow rope - you just might need it. If eating on the trail is your idea of fun, bring saddlebags to carry food and beverages. The ground scenery, with wide open expanses, lakes to play on (at your own risk), check with other riders for ice conditions, slush, beaver dams, ice fishing holes, and inlet waterways before snowmobiling on area waters.
Venturing on to lakes carries an "at your own risk" policy and help is often a long distance away. Carrying a survival kit including a tow rope, extra clothing, matches, a flashlight, a map and compass, and first-aid equipment is highly recommended.Well-marked and groomed snowmobile trails make the U.P.'s Iron County Michigan a snowmobiler's paradise.
