    Hi All. Well we were right, it was a busy weekend. Tons of riders out this weekend, but the trails held up pretty good considering we have only had light LES snow all last week and the groomers have not had a lot to work with. But one good thing is that has been cold. The last three mornings have been below 0. The trails are in pretty fair shape, except trail 344 is shot and a short section of trail 3 just south of low Bridge and right in the little village of Baldwin, 7 miles south of here. Any bridge deck or paved road is getting very thin, but most county roads are still snow covered, so getting fuel and something to eat should not be a problem. They are forecasting some snow Tuesday and Wednesday and if we get it will freshen everything back up. Don't get me wrong, you should still be able to get a descend ride in as long as you have some realistic expectations of the conditions. Once you get out on to the trails I think you will have a great time with light to no traffic. Irons groomed 2-4-10 and Cadillac groomed 2-7-10 and Benzie/Manistee groomed 2-6-10. I have not heard any thing official on Baldwin or Wellston, but our guest rode that way this weekend and were happy.   
     But I can not stress this enough. The trails are icy in spots. If you want to ride like a bat out hell, you will end up in the trees or into someone else. So slow down and enjoy your ride and you should have a good time.
    We are running a Bed and Sled Special for February. Get a modern well maintained single passenger Snowmobile from 10am until 6pm and one of our small single Motel Rooms, Sunday through Thursday for $230 tax included or get a modern well maintained two passenger Snowmobile from 10am until 6pm and one of our small single Motel Rooms, Sunday through Thursday for $260 tax included.
      Also we are running our Week Day Special for February, stay two days, Sunday through Thursday and get the third day free. No Fridays and Saturdays free. You must mention these specials at the time of reservation and of course is dependant on availability and can not be combined with any other offer.

     The bridge replacement over the Little Manistee River and Syers Creek on the west side of trail 35, just north and east of the M37 staging area, is now done and open for traffic.
    All of our rental Snowmobiles here at ATV & Snowmobile Rentals are ready to go, so if you want to give snowmobiling a try, give us a call at 231 745 4101.
     Make sure you STOP when they see the groomers so they can move by. It's really dangerous to have riders keep moving when the groomers pass. Make sure you wave and show your support. Also, please stay off the ribbon so it will set up, and the trails will stay smoother longer, that's what we all like, right?
     We are snowmobilers too, and know if there isn't enough snow to ride, I don't want to ride in the dirt either, so if you reserve a room and there isn't enough snow to ride, just give us a call and cancel your room with no penalties, but if there is enough snow I expect you to come.
      Here is a list of the snowmobile trails in this area, are you ready? The Baldwin trails, (146 miles) go west to Reed City and south from here to Newaygo, Irons trails wrap around Wolf Lake and then heads north, east and west for 122 miles and connects to Cadillac and Wellston trails and Benzie/ Manistee trails, Cadillac trails connect into the Irons, Wellston and Pere Marquette trails. The Cadillac trails run from Cadillac, then south to Leroy, and west to Irons and Wellston, they groom 124 miles, Wellston trails goes east to connect to Cadillac trails and south to the Irons Trails and west to Freesoil for 68 miles and north to the, Benzie/Manistee trail system. The Pere Marquette trail connects to the Baldwin trail and all the way to Evart and up to Leroy for 144 miles, the south Pere Marquette trail goes to Grand Rapids, I think about 140 miles. The Benzie/Manistee trail goes all the way north to the Maple City another 147 miles and connects to the Wellston trails to the south. Let's total this up, 146 + 122 + 124 + 68 + 144 + 140 + 147 = 891 in groomed connecting trails just in this area alone and we are right in the middle of them. I don't know about you but that's a ton of riding. Now there is more trails to get to, but that would be just over kill and this is not even counting all of the two tracks and seasonal roads that you can ride.
     Why spent an extra $200 to $300 in fuel to get to Gaylord or the UP when we have fantastic riding right here. WEEK DAY RIDING IS THE BEST. Come here and get a nice clean warm room and use that $200 to $300 for snowmobile fuel, that’s a ton of riding.
We have on site Snowmobile Rentals, here at ATV & Snowmobile Rentals LLC, so if you don't have a sled, just let me know and I can get it set up for you. Maybe you just want to try snowmobiling or maybe your sled is broken, we can help. But remember weekday riding is always the best, less traffic, the gas stations are less busy and it's just a lot safer.

   Here is a YouTube video that Dave from Fishweb, did on the Little Manistee trail, while he was here at the Resort this summer with one of our rental Can Am ATV's.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUGiAEg6bYk&feature=channel_page
Very Cool and this is just one of the trails.
            In the summer months right beside the trails there are ditches cut into the banks, so the water will run off of the trails. STAY OUT, THEY ARE VERY DEEP. Some of these ditches are over 8 feet deep and if you drive into one, you will most likely suck muddy water into engine and it will be ruined and if it's one of our rentals, you will be owning a rental with a bad motor.
     ATV & Snowmobile Rentals LLC  rents ATV's too, so give us a call and go riding on GROOMED ATV trails. You will have a ball, these are the only trails in the state that I know of, that are groomed for ATV's and you can have several days of riding with out seeing the same tree time after time. Not like the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, four hills and you seen it all. And the ATV rentals at the Dunes is $110 for 3 hours, ours is $140 for all day, you decide which one is a better deal. We both rent the exact same ATV's, except we have more choices. Now there are some ungroomed trails here also, so if you do want the bumps, you can have them, you decide.
    We have great trails for the ATV’s & Dirt Bikes to ride and they are the Little O Trail (46 miles of 50" trails), Tin Cup Springs Trail (21 miles of 50" trails and 21 miles of 72" trails) are a hoot to ride. The Little Manistee Trail (46 miles of 50" trails and 46 miles of 72" trails) and the Lincoln Hills Trail (21 miles of 50" trails and 21 miles of 72" trails). In all there is 222 miles of ATV, ORV trails and routes plus the single tracks for the Dirt Bikes, which I believe is around 88 miles. That’s 310 miles of dirty fun. And they even groom the Little Manistee and Lincoln Hill 72" trails weekly in the summer.       
               If you want to come to this area just give us a call toll free at 877 745 4101 8am until 10pm or from a cell phone 231-745 4101 8am until 10pm and if we don't have a room, we will try our best to find you a room, so call soon to get your room reserved or they will be all gone.
