Groomer Report
THURSDAY MARCH 28, 2019
At this point we must say that the season is pretty much done. The trails are mushy, dirt or solid ice.
We appreciate everyone that has used our trails and sponsors and hope that next year will be another great year for snowmobiling again.
Have a great Spring and Summer!

We would like to remind riders to stay on the trails. We do have some trails that go through private properties. Recently some landowners in other parts of the state have withdrawn their permission to use their property for trails due to riders leaving the trails. One example is the trail between East Jordon and Charlevoix. We do not want that to happen here.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Our groomers are now equipped with Collett Groomer Warning Beacons. “Collett Communicator’s of Oakbank, MB Canada Groomer Warning Beacons or GWB’s are devices that are installed on trail groomers and transmit a 900MHz radio signal ” dee-da ” …. “dee-da ” that can be received on channel #1 of all Collett ‘ 900 ‘ series Communicators. This signal warns snowmobilers that a groomer is near and they should slow down and be prepared to stop.

Our new sign at the Groomer Barn on Old House Road.
The Manistee County Road Commission put up new signs at the Stronach Rd. and Steinberg Rd. intersection showing the staging area there. That is the western end of the Wellston Trails system. Also, the banner is now up on the Cooley Bridge staging area on M-55. Staging is also available at our grooming barn at 18151 Old House Rd., just east of Tippy Dam Rd. Please do not block the doors if you use this staging area. Thank you.
Our Groomer Barn, constructed in 2014 stores our groomers and other equipment. Both the barn and the new tractor we put into service last year will aid us in keeping the trails in good shape in the coming season.
