DNR urges snowmobilers to use caution at trail hazard in Baraga County
February 11, 2026
Michigan Department of Natural Resources trails officials with the Parks and Recreation Division are urging snowmobilers to use caution at a water hazard along Trail No. UP8 in Baraga County.
Overnight, a stream unexpectedly rose and overflowed its banks. Water is over the trail and consequently, the trail is not groomed in this location, which is situated 8.4 miles west of Michigamme.
A groomer was stuck at this location Wednesday night.
DNR trail officials are advising snowmobilers to proceed with caution, slow down in the area and stay to the high side of the trail. Hazard cones have been placed to define the place where water has overflowed onto the trail.
