Naubinway Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

March 14, 2026

2026 has taken off with some excellent snowfall totals for the Eastern UP! In December there was a snowmobiler in the Museum  who said he stepped off the trail to move a tree and sunk up to his waist. We just had some snowmobilers at the Museum and they said the trails were great. We did get 8-10" inches of new snow yesterday and the Curtis Groomer will be out tonight, making the trails very good again. They have worked hard to get  swamp areas between Curtis and Engadine frozen in, and with the very cold temps, the trail is good. The last mile through the swamp into Naubinway is even good this year. I have had several snowmobilers in the Museum today who came in from the East and said the trails are great. Unfortunately, it sounds like we will be getting dumped on the next 2 days so we don't recommend traveling in the bad weather. It should be good by Wed. 

Come to Naubinway and enjoy the ride and the Museum by snowmobile or car!  Always remember, Ride Right!!! Don't forget we're open 9-5 every day. It's a great place to warm up, have some hot chocolate and see a great collection of old snowmobiles and memorabilia.

 Don't forget you can stay in Naubinway and travel anywhere on the trails from here. Contact the Adoba and Naubinway Hotel for a place to stay overnight. The Cove Bar is always open with great food. MooFinFries and Village Pizza are open on the weekends. 

 While you are in the area, be sure to check out the Top of the Lake Snowmobile Museum in Naubinway. Trail 2 comes into Naubinway and follow the trail through Naubinway. You will drive in front of the new Museum, which opened in Oct. 2013. There is plenty of room to park your sleds and you can see a fantastic variety of 195+ sleds and memorabilia from the past.  The regular hours are 9-5 pm, every day, all year, except Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.  906-477-6298.   Admission: $5 for adult,  Kids 16 & under - Free
