If you come across any trees or obstacles in a trail, please note what trail it is on and contract one of the snowmobile clubs. Iron Range Trail Club maintains the west side of the county and The Chippewa Sno-Kats maintain the east side of the county. It’s been such a great site seeing all the sleds out this past January. With trails being so good we are expecting February to be just as busy. As always, please ride right and watch the corners for any oncoming traffic. We hope everyone has a great time and stays safe!!

The Iron Range Trails cover Amasa, Crystal Falls, Iron River, and Sidnaw, providing hundreds of miles of excellent sledding.

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.
