With the recent snowfall, there has been an extended interest in snowmobiling in many areas of the northern Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula. Please take the following tips into consideration:
State trails are no longer being groomed at this time of year (after April 1).
State land is still open to snowmobiling.
Most trails located on private land closed April 1.
* Please consult other agencies if you are riding on federal lands.
