Update 04/01/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:18am As funny as Michigan is I think our snowmobile season is over. I was really hoping for a March blast of snow. The U.P. got hammered with snow last night while we got rain, and a lot of it. I guess its time to prep the atv's for summer. I am going to start posting orv trail pics and updates on our orv trail section. If you like this page check out our orv page this month.
Update 03/27/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
12:58pm Houghton Lake has lots of ice on the lake. Trail conditions are not stellar. If we had a big storm it would be possible to ride. The ice on the trails is still holding. We just need snow on top of it. If we dont get snow we will probably have good conditions for atv's and bikes in the near future. Here are a few pics of trail conditions as of this mourning. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!
Update 03/20/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:13am Houghton Lake has not recieved the March blast of snow we usually get. It is still pretty cold up here. A couple of days we hit temps around forty, but fo the most part it has been cold. We have plenty of ice, but we have a small amount of snow left. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!
Update 03/14/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
4:47pm Houghton Lake snow conditions have pretty much diminished. There is still a little slush and ice on the local trails which could freeze and be ridable if we got some snow. I have not ridden but my buddy john said the trails were still rideable in his neck of the woods. John lives in the Grayling area and tends to ride around the starvation lake area. We still have plenty of ice in the lake and there has been a lot of fisherman but that is about all thats happening in the area. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!
Update 03/07/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
9:17am Houghton Lake snow conditions have not changed since the 4th. I went out and groomed some of the south trails yesterday. I pulled in as much snow as I could from the sides, and on the corners into the trails. Trails are still a little icy in spots but I am going to rate them as fair, they are definately rideable. Steve also groomed yesterday. Steve hit the west trail. He said trail six wasn't in great shape in between Reserve road and Old 27. But west of 27 he rated them as fair to excellent. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!
Update 03/04/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
9:31am I went out and took some pics. The trails are a little icy on the inside corners, but it is nothing we can't fix with the groomer. We should have another good weekend of riding. John Dee from www.johndee.com is calling for 4 inches this week. Temps are going to stay cold through the weekend. Maybe we will have a good March after all. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!
Update 03/03/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
4:33pm Houghton Lake recieved some rain this mourning but the majority of it missed us. Temps have made a drastic drop and the precipitation has turned to snow. As of now there is not a lot of snow in the forecast for this week. There is a 30% chance of snow showers Wed.-Thur. I am going to head out right now to take pics of the trail conditions. I will post them as soon as I get back. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!

As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!

Update 02/24/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
12:42pm Houghton Lake trail condotions are in excellent shape. Art and myself groomed the entire south trail system by ourselves last night to make sure they stay in excellent condition. It is our dedication to you our customers and our love for snowmobiling that allows us to push ourselves to put ten to fifteen ours in the tractor when no one else wants to volunteer. I hope that everyone that comes to the Houghton Lake area has a pleasurable experience, other wise our efforts would be pointless. I got a little bit of crap from a guy that thinks I only post good conditions. I just want to say I call it like I see it, and if his trail conditions suck in Wexford county that is his problem. I met a couple of guys last night that also reported very good riding conditions. Scott and Jeff are pictured below with smiles ear to ear, you don't see that from unhappy riders. Well anyways here are some pictures of some of the south trails we groomed last night. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!
Update 02/21/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
9:11am Houghton Lake has not received any snowfall since 02-19-08. Before the last snow came down the trails were icy. However I went coyote hunting last night and I walked across some of the trails and they were pretty nice. Snowmobile traffic was pretty heavy yesterday and the new snow we had got packed down. I haven't rode on them, but they looked like you could really let it rip on them. Temps are going to remain in the teens throughout the week. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!

Temps are going to be in the twenties untill Sunday when temps are going to make a drastic change and stay there. We are calling for more snow on Saturday. The trails are great, Art, Steve and I all groomed last night. Art deserves a lot of credit for what he does. He drove to Houghton Lake last night, put some long hours in the tractor, slept about two hours, and then drove back down state to go to work. Well anyway here are some pics of everybody's hard work on the trails. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!

9:56am Houghton Lake received some freezing rain last night. We did not lose much snow. I think this weather might work out very good for this weekend. The freezing rain made the snow very packed. This will make a very good base. We are now calling for 2-3 inches of snow tonight and more snow tommorow. Steve tried to groom last night but it started raining and the drag was having trouble with the wet snow. Hopefully we can get out there and groom when the snow freezes a little bit.

6:09pm Well I went out for a ride and the trails were rideable but not that great. I dont want to sugar coat anything. There was a decent amount of whoops in the trails. The base is ice, and there is about 3 inches of powder on top of that (main trails). There is good snow to be found for the hard core sledder that is not afraid to get off the beaten path. I went on some unmarked trails and found three feet of snow in areas. Well anyways here is some pictures of the south trails. P.S. WATCH OUT FOR BLOW DOWNS!!!

8:17am Houghton Lake received about two inches of snow last night. Snow is in the forecast for the next seven days. I will update as conditions change. As alway's THINK SNOW!!!
9:30am Houghton Lake is receiving a small amount of snow right now. The snow we have is that wet stuff that packs really good. This is going to make a excellent base. If the wet stuff freezes on top of the ice that was on the trails, and we get a little more snow the trails will be really good. Below are some pictures I took this mourning of the same trails pictured yesterday. This is how quick conditions can change.
Update 01/10/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:39am Houghton Lake lost most of its snow. However there is still a bit of ice on the trails. The ice will be a good base if we can get a big dumping of snow. That big snow is in the forecast, we are in a winter weather advisory. We are supposed to receive four to six inches tonight, and two to four inches Friday. If we get this trail conditions should be good enough to ride. Houghton Lake is solid ice, there is no snow or slush on it. Its a good oppritunity for a hockey game. The lake has nine inches of ice on it and is pictured below. Also pictured are trails 654 and 655. Keep in mind these pictures are by the trail head were you can get to them with and automobile. These are the most riden, chewed up trails that I find. So maybe there is a little bit more of a base further down the trail system. As alway's THINK SNOW!!!

Update 01/04/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:23am Conditions haven't changed much in twenty four hours. It is still cold. Last nights low was around three degrees. The current temperature is twenty degrees. We have a warm up on the way. Saturday's high is going to be in the lower thirties. Sunday's high is going to be in the lower forties along with some fog. From the looks of things this is a good time to get a ride in, because we are going to lose a fair amount of snow from theses warm temperatures and rain. The lake has a good amount of ice on it. I have heard reports of a good amount of walleye being caught between American Oak Resort and the Limberlost, in ten to thirteen feet of water. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!

Update 01/03/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:16am Houghton Lake is receiving a small amount of snow right now. The overnight low was around six degrees. The trails have plenty of snow to ride on, but some of the tight corners have a little ice on them. If you are looking to ride, this is the weekend to do it. The weather looks like its going to make a drastic turn around coming into Monday. We are supposed to have high temperatures and rain through the week. The lake is really nice right now, we have over ten inches of ice and it is hard pack snow by shore and fluff further out. Here are some pictures I took this mourning. As alway's THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down!!!
Update 01/02/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:25am Houghton Lake received about four inches of snow last night. The over night low was around nine degrees. I rode to Meridith last night and the trails were decent. The only thing I could complain about would be a couple of icy corners. The snow we just got should fix that up. Hopefully we can get out there and groom them now.
Update 01/01/08 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
11:55am We didn't get any snow last night, snow Tuesday. So THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down. The trails are getting icy in corners over 45 degrees. The 8100 tractor broke down last night, something hydraulic went underneath and it dumped oil everywhere. It is on the east side of Owens Rd, almost back to town. Mike is going to have John Deere pick it up there and take it to Lake City for repair.
Update 12/31/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:05am The Houghton Lake area is calling for one to three inches of snow tonight. The over night low was around nineteen degrees. Riding has been good. Snow is getting a little thin on the corners on the narrow trails, but its nothing to worry about. The three inches tonight will do us some good and we are also calling for snow Tuesday. So THINK SNOW and keep your sleds rubber side down. Some pictures from lastnights grooming efforts. All three groomers are out today. Big Koe groomed some local trails, Art finished the locals and a section of 6 that got missed, then Steve and Mike J are out now. Steve is doing Meredith, and Mike J is on the West trail.
Update 12/30/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:14am The trails were getting a bit bumpy, we rode to Meredith and Elbow Lake. Brian groomed to Meredioth, Mike J did the West trail and Leota, and I groomed the Prudenville loops. I came in at 6.30 am this morning. I could also see the St Helen guys were out as they groomed to Waco Rd and the 655/Duck Lake Road intersection. Things were looking great so this mornings riders got a highway to start on. We will post the pictures later today. More snow is in the forecast for tnight. THINK SNOW!!!!
Update 12/29/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:14am We got about 5" of snow yesterday and into last night. The groomer was running, we passed Steve on his way to Meredith. We went for a ride last night, and the trails were great. This snow on top of the hardpacked base is just what we needed. The lake is a nice ride also with plenty of snow to keep things lubricated. They are calling for cold temps and more snow throughout the week. This is a great time to ride if you can get away.
Update 12/28/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:14am We have not recieved our snow yet, but it is on its way. Below is a picture of the radar as of 9:10 this mourning. The storm is heading north east and it looks like its going to go right over us. We really could use some fresh powder. The trails south Houghton Lake need it the worst. The trails to the north are okay, but they quickly diminish as they get more traffic. So cross your fingers and think snow!!!
Update 12/27/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
8:57am Houghton Lake is recieving a long anticipated snowfall today. So far we have received a dusting (about 1/2 inch). We are calling for snow Friday, from the forecast I have been watching it looks like we could receive one to four inches. The over night low was around seventeen degrees. The lake has ten inches of ice on it and ice fishermen are taking advantage of it. Yesterday I noticed there was a couple of cars on the lake (I wouldn't advise driving on the lake just yet).

Update 12/26/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
10:07am I guess I must have been bad this year because I didn't get any snow for Christmas. The temperature is still cold we just are not getting any precipitation. The over night low was around twenty two degrees. The weather channel calls for a 70% chance of snow on Thursday and Friday. The trail and ice conditions haven't changed since 12/24/07. Hopefully the snow witch of trail 655 (pictured below) will bring us some snow.
Update 12/24/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
1:53pm Houghton Lake did not receive a large snowfall yesterday. We got about one inch. The over night low was around seventeen degrees. We are calling some snow showers through the week. The temperature is going to stay in the twenties for a while so whatever precipitation we get should be snow. We need a good amount of snow before we can ride. The trails are icy and there is only a inch of snow on top of them. The lake is almost all ice. I fell when I was boring holes to check ice thickness, and I had cold cutter studs screwed in my boots. Anyways after I finally got a hole bored we had about ten inches of ice.
These pictures were taken 12/23/07

The weather forecast said we would have a high of thirty eight degrees today, then it will be in the twenties through the week except for Christmas day.

9:17am Houghton Lakes weather conditions have stayed the same since we recieved our last snow fall. Last nights overnight low was around twelve degrees. There is no major snow accumulation in the near forecast. However this is still a good winter. I can barely remember a December when I could ride where ever I wanted.

I will also post some trail pictures later this afternoon.

11:14am I hit the trails for an hour here around town, and they were great. They were freshly groomed and the snowmobile stuck to them like it was glued. A winter like this has been long over due, there has been enough snow to ride on for the past twelve days!!! The Ice conditions are also great. There is eight inches by shore, and I have seen people fishing about a mile from shore. I will go out farther on the lake than I have been, bore a hole and post the ice thickness.

5:43pm I did not get a chance to take trail pictures today but I will put some on tomorrow. The trails were great on 12/11/07 and I'm sure they haven't changed much. I did manage to get an ice report for Houghton Lake and I also took a couple of pictures. The ice has a solid six inches and it has another two inches of soft ice in top of that. The lake is no longer slushy and we should have a solid eight inches by the weekend.
Update 12/12/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
9:17am Houghton Lake did not get a lot of snow yesterday. However I got to hit the trails for a little while last night, and they were great. We have a good base of snow and the powder just keeps on piling up. I rode to Meridith and Elbow Lake, and it felt like the sled was running on rails. Last nights low was around twenty eight degrees. Houghton Lake has a good amount of ice on it. I will post a picture with ice thickness later in the day. Elbow Lake reports five inches of ice.
Update 12/11/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
4:15pm It is still snowing in the Houghton Lake area. We have accumulated about one inch of snow. The snow fall is starting to pick up, but from the weather forecast I don't expect to much more. I talked to my buddy Phil who lives in the Grayling area, and he said he is getting the same weather system. However he rode in the Lewiston, and Cheboygan areas and he said the trails were great. Phil also mentioned that there were very few riders in that area this weekend. Hopefully I can sneak out tonight, check the trails and get some pictures up for you snow junkies.
Update 12/11/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
8:27am Houghton Lake did not receive any snow last night. We have about the same amount as 12/09/07. Last nights low was around 19 degrees. The good news is we are getting snow right now. I checked the weather report and it said that it might turn into sleet later in the day. I will update the page later in the day. Here is a picture of the current conditions at American Oak Resort.
Update 12/09/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
8:40am Houghton Lake received a small dusting last night (nothing really to speak of). The over night low was around 12 degrees. The good thing is what we have appears to be here to stay. This weekend I also noticed an abundance of ice fisherman hitting the lake. Most of them did not go more than a half mile from shore, and they were mostly on foot. I will be updating the page later today with pictures of the trail conditions, and a report from the Grayling area.
Update 12/08/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
9:37am We did not get any snow last night. The overnight low was around 19 degrees. The trails are still nice, but we could use some more snow. Some of the Houghton Lake trails have been groomed. The lake has a good four inch base of ice. The problem is there was quite a bit of snow on in which insulated it. As a result there is two inches of honey comb ice on top of the good four inches, and then there is snow on top of that. These are a couple of factors which is making Houghton Lake slushy on top. Also there are some small pressure cracks poping up near shore. A couple you might notice are located right in front of the south shore boat launch, and in front of the Limberlost. Also watch for other obstacles, as I found a steel boat auger that never got removed this summer sticking two feet out of the ice (the auger was between the Limberlost and the resort, and I did remove it.) If you ride the lake you really have to be carefull for a number of reasons. Keep in mind ice thickness, pressure cracks, and other obstacles.) PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU GO ON THE LAKE, CHECK IT CAREFULLY AS ICE CONDITIONS VARY. Grayling area report: The Grayling area received one inch of snow last night and it has had a light snow through the morning. The groomers are going, the trails are great, but they are loaded with riders this weekend. So as always keep an eye out for other riders. THINK SNOW!!!!
Update 12/07/07
9:56am We had a small accumulation of snow last night(1-2"), but every little bit helps. Houghton lake is gaining ice in a rapid fashion. I will update the page later today with ice conditions, and pictures. Last nights low was around 12 degrees. This winter looks to be the best we have had in Houghton Lake in the past five years. There is plenty of snow for the snowmobiles, and there is enough ice to take a stab at ice fishing. PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU GO ON THE LAKE, CHECK IT CAREFULLY AS ICE CONDITIONS VARY. THINK SNOW!!!!
Update 12/06/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
1:20AM We only got anther dusting last night, but we got to sneak in a ride. And what a ride it was. I can't remember when we had this much snow this early. We left the resort, rode the lake (close to the shore) and got off at CO Rd. 300. We didn't dally on the lake if you know what I mean. There were NO tracks anywhere we went on the west Shore, but with the cold temps and the 4-5 we had last weekend out in front of our place, I figured the lake would be ok for us. we rode trail, seasonal roads and pipelines to Dingmans in Kalkaska. Brian had a problem with his chaincase so we got on Sunset (or so I thought) and headed north. Turns out we were headed West. So an hour or so later we are back on Sunset going north. So we get there, and no Gas, they close early during the week. Lucky for us my buddy Phil had a warm garage to tighten the chain, a little oil to slop in the chaincase on the Polaris, and 3 gas cans. We had to drive into Grayling with the cans to get gas. Keep this in mind if you are West of Grayling during the week. The plan was to go to Starvation lake, but the chaincase threw a wrench into that. There was at least 10-12 inches of snow, from the minute we crossed the bridge over the Muskegon River. Closer to 16" near Dingman's and Beaar Lake.. The low was around 12 degrees.
Update 12/05/07 : Houghton Lake Michigan Snowmobiling Trail Report and Conditions
9:20AM We only got a dusting last night, but we sent out our first snowmobile rentals for the season. The low was around 9 degrees. PLEASE STAY OFF THE LAKE UNLESS YOU CHECK IT CAREFULLY. STAY CLOSE TO SHORE IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND DON'T GO ALONE. We will poke a few holes in the ice today and report on the thickness. There is plenty of ice for ice fishing, just be careful where you go and check conditions carefully. You can get from Houghton Lake and go north, the thinner spots on our trail system are south of town. We are stil doing pre-season work, studding, slider replacement and general snowmobile repair.
