Roads are open!

A week after the blizzard that dumped between 25-35 inches of snow on area trails and roads, cleanup ramps up around Lake Gogebic.

Here’s the latest as of Saturday morning, December 6th:

M-28 is snow-covered in places, but the drive between Bergland and Ironwood is wide open.

M64, the West Shore of Lake Gogebic, is open but snow-covered in places, such as the corner of M28 on the north end and toward Stagecoach Road on the south end.

East Shore Road has snow coverage, but that adds value for anyone staying at the Root Cellar and wants to cross the road to access Trail 13.

Speaking of the trails, here’s the latest update from Gogebic Area Grooming:

“Trail 1-From Marenisco south to Job Corp Rd is passable and panned. From Marenisco north to the end of 8800 passable but not panned. Trail 1 is temporarily closed after 8800 to the Gogebic County line (close to Copps Tower Rd.”

“Trail 2-passable and groomed through Marenisco.”

“Trail 100-passable but very rough, wet in areas, and many whips/branches.”

“Trail 13-temporarily closed from Trail 100 southward. Passable from Trail 100 northward to Camp 6 Rd but many whips/branches. A reroute is being worked on for 13 south of 100.”
